Milwaukee. The skyline seems a bit newer and I love the character that the lake gives it. Plus, the art museum gives the skyline a distinctive structure.

Two skylines that lie where the desert meets the mountains; Albuquerque or Salt Lake City?

I'm thinking I would pick Salt Lake City, for sure. It has taller buildings, and more new buildings(2 per Wikipedia) are being constructed there or are in the pipeline to be approved(7), vs. Albuquerque.

Fresno, CA, or Stockton, CA?

From what I see Fresno's buildings look a little taller. Asheville NC or Winston Salem NC?

Nashville. I have to say that New Orleans is one of my all time favorite skylines in the under 2 million tier. THAT Is how you do Density. Nice Dense Classic skyline that's just a little bit dated, You Can tell most of those buildings where built in the 70's and 80's maybe early 90's. And With New Orleans Metro Area Now slipping under 1million it may be challenging for New Orleans to build New Towers. Here is Where Nashville comes in, Nice Glassified Skyline, Increasingly Interesting Architecture, Rapidly Densifying (is that a word) and unlike New Orleans, has no problem throwing up New Towers. I like New Orleans but sigh, have to be objective, Nashville.


Grand Rapids, Michigan or Raleigh, North Carolina

Grand Rapids has more variety in it's architecture. Tucson or Little Rock?

Little Rock for pure height and number of towers. Tucson for aesthetic overall and background. It's a tough call, but I'll give it to Little Rock.

Albuquerque, NM vs Chattanooga, TN?

Chattanooga based on having more variety. Both cities are due for a makeover.

San Francisco, CA or Miami, FL?

Miami. I might get in trouble for this one, I know San Francisco is a CD Darling, But Miami. I Like How Long it stretches against that turquoise blue water and how New it looks. Sure it's Carbon Copy architecture can't compete against some of San Frans Classics like the Trans America Pyramid and Sales Force tower and San Frans backdrop actually looks better with the Bay, Mountains, and Bridge, but it seems short and compact length wise and doesn't stretch as far as the eye can see like Miami does, which is also the 3rd largest skyline after Chicago and New York, Unpopular opinion lol, but Idk im just more impressed with Miami's.


San Diego or Atlanta
