I mean the metro areas are growing like wildfire. There's only a few miles of open land between San Marcos (Austin MSA) & New Braunfels (San Antonio MSA) and the gap is shorting every year.

I'm pretty sure that Miami has had the largest transformation at the largest scale since 2005. When looking at all the transformations throughout the entire Austin and Miami urban areas the differences in the scale becomes even more apparent.

I agree with you considering the heights and number of buildings since 2005

Now, we have to find the next Austin or Boise. To me, that could be like Grand Rapids maybe? Or possibly a rising college town.

Jersey City has a superb skyline that continues to grow. Granted, the major reason is due to its proximity across the Hudson from Manhattan, but still, it is really impressive for its size.
Could you imagine Phoenix skyline if it was right across the hudson from NYC ?

Wow, Miami is closing the gap with Chicago.

Tampa Bay has 23 so it seems like it should have made the list?
