Uh, no....

California has earthquakes and alot of hills and mountains. Some cities even have height restrictions... so no, it has more to do with Cali's conditions.

Some cities such as San Diego can't build super tall buildings because of the location of their airport

Dallas has an airport close to downtown & their tallest building is over 900' tall.

Houston has an airport close by too & their tallest reaches over 1,000'.

I'm guessing it depends on how close it is.


Love Field is about 4 miles from Downtown Dallas and Houston's Hobby is like twice the distance.

For San Diego, there's an airport practically right next to downtown.

Regarding the original list: I don't get why some cities are lumped together with adjacent cities....such as "Cincinnati including Covington". Huh?? Covington is in another state. Why is it included in the Cincy ranking?
Yet this isn't the case with Clayton, MO. It borders St Louis, (and the two cities are even in the same state)....yet they are listed separately.
I don't see how the list can be accurate when it's not even consistant.

I love the downtown area anyway. I don't care how tall buildings are.
