I would agree. But it's probably 2nd to San Francisco.

Houston actually has the third tallest skyline in America and top 15 in the world. There was a new list that came out recently.

New list came out and Miami dropped because Houston built more buildings. Miami was only ahead by a couple of stories.

As far as densest, I'd definitely say San Francisco.

I would think it's a toss-up between San Francisco, Philadelphia and Boston for each of their qualities.

I've never thought of the CBD of Miami to be particularly dense.
