but i think they might be building too many skyscrapers at once, with the threat of the rising sea, they should stop building so much next to the beach but more inland
Anyone who has ever sat in Washington Square, strolled down Locust Street, or eaten on the sidewalk on 2nd Street will laugh at the idea of viewing Philadelphia - or any other great colonial city - from a highway.
Isn't that the very definition of a skyline?

Don't patronize me with your definitions. Have you driven on the Schuylkill or Vine St.? The first posted video starts with 291. 291! These roads don't command good views of the city because of their siting. The Philly skyline is best viewed from the (currently being rebuilt) South St. Bridge, from South Broad St. in front of the theaters, from the Art Museum steps. From places you usually go on foot, not by car. But I'm still talking about the skyline.
