Pittsburgh for me. Pittsburgh has more aesthetically pleasing architecture overall, and has a great natural setting for a downtown and for density overall.

Calgary is growing, but against Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh edges it for me.

Hartford, CT or Louisville, KY?
Louisville because of the Ohio river and nice collection of buildings. Nothing too gawdy or out of place.

Tacoma, WA or Ft. Worth, TX?

I'm gonna go with Ft Worth, TX here. While both Tacoma and Fort Worth are not super dense, Fort Worth has a few more towers and is taller.

Portland, OR or Salt Lake City, UT?

Salt Lake City. It has a more interesting skyline and new towers on the way. The setting is nice too.

Jersey City, NJ or Austin, TX?

Philly all day. Much more attractive Downtown with a blend of old and brand spanking new architecture. New Orleans has a relatively small downtown in comparison.



Spokane, WA or El Paso, Tx?

Spokane is better. The angles of the skyline show a lot of density.

Baton Rouge, LA or Cedar Rapids, IA?

Spokane. It's a little more dense to me in its downtown, and has a mix of old and new buildings that I like. Also I like the tree cover, the older bridge over the Spokane River near its downtown(I think from Monroe Street?), and the Spokane River (and are those rapids or any small waterfalls along it? reminds me a little of the appearance of the James River through Richmond) which all put Spokane a little over the top here.

I like the mountains in the background of El Paso skyline pics, but to me again, the density, the Spokane River, and the Monroe Street Bridge all make me prefer Spokane.

Shreveport, LA, or Charleston, WV?

Neither but I'd pick Shreveport. Looks taller and more modern. Lincoln NE or Wichita KS?
