Yes, but some cities are nearly universally associated with its natural beauty, and others are not.

San Francisco wins in every regard.

Even if you took away the setting and location, the sheer density of SF's skyline is remarkable. It has far more tall buildings than Dallas in a much smaller space. Dallas' skyline is shinier--thats really its only advantage.

Approaching SF from the Bay Bridge or from highway 280, the skyline makes you feel like you are driving into a *Big City*. Driving towards Dallas you feel like youre approaching some bizarre outpost with tall buildings.

Wow....I'm a little shocked SF is leading by so much. I picked Dallas. SF has never impressed me much and lacks uniqueness. The hills only help so much.

Exactly! The only reason SF is winning is because of the scenery! If SF was in the same place Dallas was SF would not be winning!

Not really. Even without the hills, bridge and water , SF's skyline is still looks much better than the Dallas skyline.
