Philly has a FEW more taller buildings and one of them only has height because of its long needle spire at the top (like the Chrysler building in nyc, which is a cheap way to add height).. SF dominates philly in this comparison tho. SF is definitely number 3 in the country for skylines... here is an example....

I'm not arguing with you.... so IDK what your argument is lol. I've stated multiple times that both San Fran and Miami have more highrises and are larger skylines lol.

no im not trying to argue either lol I just wanted to et people know that.. I live in Wisconsin and our biggest skyline in the state is Milwaukee ..

and philly blows Miami's (so called skyline) out of the water.. Miami is like a Honolulu. It isn't a real skyline but instead a bunch of tall condos that hsve no good architecture in it,
