Well, actually, any topic can be "overcooked" and I'll be posting something that the moderators of this room have agreed on about that very thing. Stay tuned.

Houstons skyline DOES have density...what are you talking about? Downtown Houston is very dense. Houston has the third LARGEST skyline in the country. Philadelphia is very nice...i must say.

why does everyone do this really. Seattle skyline is not dense. Along with Philadelphia and Atlanta. You know why because if you look at they're skyline's from diffrent angels they are all small and compacted to gether and not really that wide but rather a skiny line of buildings put around each other in a long and narrow line. The only city that comes close to density is Houston because not every building is in one small skinny line it's spread out and wide and still dense. Los Angeles is also pretty dense as well so to clear up peoples misconseptions about cities that don't even have the right amount of density. Seattle is really not dense because it's situated on a hill which props it up giving it dynamics along with Sanfrancisco.

One of my favorites is the Burgh. I don't know why it isn't a option, since it has historic buildings (not just modern), and great natural beauty with bridges spanning all sides.

I also love Seattles. I don't think San Fran's is as good as Seattle's or Pittsburgh's.

Picture taken by me. I wish the mods on this forum would start enforcing having references to all images used on this board. I got a infraction once for posting a article. I think they just go after people as they please.
