I have to say San Jose's is a little better since it's more dense. Dallas is just taller with 71 story tower.
You guys will never let this go huh.

Yes there was, but the city has no money. There was a planned Bottle District too which would have had a tower surpassing the height of the arch...ground was broken but the project was cancelled. Same thing with Ballpark Village. The city is flat out broke. Either that, or people really don't want to build higher than the arch. That super-tall tower would have been either located in Midtown or south of I-64 to avoid it making the Arch look short, among other reasons.
DC. It doesn't even have a skyline, however, just a giant illuminated penis... so maybe it doesn't count. Albacore and Tuscon are close seconds, but they (especially Tuscon) have nice backdrops to make up for it.
San Jose is fine, its more suburban. I'd love to see SJ continue to add tons of midrise towers, it could be stunning at street level. The LA skyline is fine. San Diego is fine.
Fort Worths is appropriate and under rated, all you see are the taller towers, but theres a ton of great old buildings there.
