Yeah, you are that guy. LOL

It's not Nashville boosterism.

The source is Wikipedia and cross referencing with Emporis at times.

You should do a list if you think this one is lame. LOL

So Hartford should have a total of 10, since the city of Bristol (within the MSA) has 1 building over 300 ft.

In addition, the Stamford-Bridgeport MSA has a population around a million, so it should be in the top 5 list. Stamford currently has 2 buildings higher than 300 ft and 1 currently under construction.
Sources?

I'll be glad to use those going forward and for sure admit the error, if you cite sources.

Nashville's count looks low too. The list of pending/proposed has not been updated, as some towers are still waiting for structural work to wrap up.

They don't have enough skyscrapers to be included.

It's the top five of each region.

Memphis has 8 I think, total. Not enough to be in the top 5 of the southeast.

Well it sure comes off like that, considering you severely under-counted NYC for whatever reason (even if you didn't feel like counting, anyone with a blind eye knows there are far, FAR more than 10) while you inflated Nashville's numbers to include "proposed" buildings as opposed to only those actually under construction.

So yes, this thread comes off as VERY suspect, especially considering your past boosterism posts. LOL

Did you mean Mountain West instead of Rocky Mountains? The Rockies aren't in NV or AZ

So do a list--I'd love to check it out.
