woops!! I read your right to left as left to right... I did think downtown looked a bit off!! a great view though! I love the view you get from the top of Stone Mountain too.
San Francisco's skyine is only bigger in land area.. but their buildings are shorter than Los Angeles'. Another reason might be because San Francisco is near the water which gives it limited room to grow.. so it looks bigger, as for Los Angeles, there is endless sprawl surrounding it making it's skyline look smaller, but if you put the it's skyline near the water, then it'll most likely look bigger.
Los Angeles' US Bank Tower is 1,000 something feet. San Francisco's Transbay Pyramid is only 800 Something feet.
Very similar to Honolulu and San Diego. San Diego is taller but looks smaller because we dont have as much buildings as Honolulu, Honolulu's buildings are below 500 feet, but their skyline looks big because they have a lot of short high-rises for residents, tourist and vacationists.
We know that NYC, Chicago, and Miami have the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd largest skylines respectively, how about the 4th? I'm guessing it's either Los Angeles, Atlanta, or Seattle. San Francisco should be up there too, and might have a bigger skyline than LA. Also Philly and Boston.
Houston has a microscopic skyline.....:rolleye s:
Cities like Fargo and Lincoln have more impressive skylines than Houston, but the 4th best has to be either SF, Miami or Philly because they are sooooooooo DENSE
As we ALL know.... density on CD is the single defining factor to what makes a city worth anything
