Ok,so what should I be looking for? Where's the improvement in that picture?
Oh...I didn't realize I had addressed my post to you.
For one, there are a few buildings that have completed construction or are under construction in the photo I posted of downtown vs. the photo from the poster I was actually responding to.
Secondly, the Central Corridor just north of downtown which homes the "other half" of what makes the Phoenix skyline was not even in the photo from that poster.
I hope I responded to you accordingly so that I am not setting the stage for additional, smarta$$ comments in the future...
Most major western cities besides Seattle and SF.. Denver is decent.
Albuquerque, Phoenix, San Jose, and Los Angeles have pathetic skylines.
Albuquerque has what most skylines dont.. The Sandia mountains at 11,500 in Elevation.
Albuuqerque just boomed so fast, the downtown never cought up. Suburbia did though.
Phoenix isn't the greatest, but it's improving and you also forgot the Central Corridor. Here's some updated photos:
Part of Downtown
Midtown (Central Corridor just north of Downtown)
Yea i can see it has a decent skyline, but over one million people live there and that's all the skyline is?
The topography helps the skyline a bunch, but besides that, it looks like a city with a population the size of Buffalo or Newark.

With all due respect, Buffalo and Newark are VERY established cities. Phoenix, as you know has experienced tremendous growth in the last 10 years, and it's economy was playing catch up and slowly beginning to diversify. That is why there have been additions in the last couple of years to its downtown.
In addition, downtowns for both San Jose and Phoenix are in very close proximity to their airports, which explains the height restrictions for both of these cities - Sky Harbor International Airport is only five minutes from downtown Phoenix.
I agree. The Albany skyline looks reminds of the novel 1984 or possibly some other science fiction film portraying a dystopian future. Maybe not the worst skyline in country..but definetely a really bizarre choice of urban planning.
I kind of like this one of Albany at night. Spooky.

I could see Room 101 in the basement of one of those, lol.

Is that first picture an accurate representation of the whole downtown? It's so full of surface parking lots, and doesn't appear dense to me. Are there any historical structures left?
