LA has 486 highrises and 66 either planned or under construction
Chicago has 1,093 highrises with 140 either planned or under construction.
Chicago also has a much more concentrated level of activity as well. Almost ALL of them are downtown and along the lake. LA has downtown, but then a bunch of little clusters here and there.
Overall, its Chicago.
