Brimingham's skyline is much more dense and taller than Buffalo's...that's why I feel that way.

Birmingham's density is twice the size of Buffalo's, but Buffalo is just a little taller, though!

Uhh... BUFFALO was the 3rd MOST DENSE city in America, and though we have torn down nearly hundreds of buildings and high rises for parking lots and public parks and green space, we still have a dense skyline. Neck and Neck so far... We'll see how this one goes!
