I think it's actually Montreal who has the architecture, being one of the thriving cities in the NYC, Boston, Philly, Detroit era..

Those architecture can't be seen from the skyline. Montreal is like Boston. Beautiful short architecture but lame tall buildings.

Montreals uninteresting architecture...

I think the main issue here, if I were to take a gander is... most people on this board have probably never been to Montreal...
And I'm not even a big fan, I got a 650 CDN ticket for having a radar detector there >:I... but skyline/architecture I have to go with Montreal

The video pretty much only shows Houston's commercial highrise cluster. Not density. There's a big difference.

LOL. They called you a sell out for voting for Houston? LOL, Montreal is not even in the US for them to be mad at you. Looks like some people up there are real bitter.

Good point. I worked in the Medical Center for a few years and it was larger than most other cities' downtowns. And construction is still going. A few photos of it, you can see downtown a few miles away in the background
