I don't understand, we can't argue with your list, even if it's wrong? L.A. has a larger skyline than all the cities you listed...it's right behind Houston.

There are a lot of ways to decide which skyline is the largest. Most buildings over a certain height, density, etc. ALL methods can be measured with numbers, and thus, are objective. This is not a subject which requires people's opinions.

Yeah, it depends what criteria you use. In some lists L.A. is ahead of Miami and some lists it's right behind. But it's pretty much always ahead of Seattle, Detroit, San Francisco, etc.

No LA or San Francisco on the list? I think it would be LA but I voted for Boston.

I agree. Miami has been ranked third and then Houston should be 4th. After that it should be LA and then Atlanta after that.
