I think SF skyline is larger because the city is more dense and compact. SF is smaller compared to Dallas, by land area. Dallas is more spread out. SF has 46.7 sq mi of land and Dallas has 342 sq mi of land. I'm sure there's not alot of land in SF to build large suburban developments, so instead they building condo towers. That's the only way you can fit 815,358 people on 46.7 sq mi of land.
Aerial Pics of Downtown. (In the 70s and 80s they demolished alot of buildings for developments. The majority of the developments didn't happen. So they turned the land into parking lots)
Ooooooooooo.! I think im gonna go with dallas. Its alittle bias though...considering i live in denver and think dallas and Denvers skylines look similar X) But i love SF as well!
I think the Dallas skyline is fine the way it is. I like being able to see it from miles away without any landform getting in the way... But that's just opinion.
I agree with you. I like it better the way it is. No need trying to be somewhere it is not
So you guys honestly think Dallas is better than this? Are you guys squinting or something?
zoom in and look around a bit and at the detail...

In that photo grapico posted, the natural scenery is fascinating and the cityscape is beyond awe-inspiring, but the actual skyline itself is not that impressive, IMO (and those who disagree can spare me the smart aleck back-talk, because I could care less ).
That's the problem with this thread, I'm hearing more "scenery" and "urbanity" arguments than discussions about the actual SKYLINES i.e. the buildings that line the sky.
