its prettier and has a mediterranean feel to it...it is nice approaching it on ferry from larkspur etc. but it lacks in height imo.
I agree.
And to the person who replied that it has more "tall buildings" I can say that that doesn't mean anything. What makes a skyline striking is scale, not total height. Boston's Financial District has plenty of height, but there's very little scale which makes it less striking.... it actually has a plateau effect. Other cities have more scale and look prettier (i.e. Charlotte, Pittsburgh, etc) than Boston because of that scale even though they don't have more tall buildings.
I don't even need downtown just the view from the Carnelian Room gets me everytime http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2513/...ccd31cba_b.jpg
And about lacking height,maybe from certain viewpoints it looks smaller but if you've seen it in person you'd know it doesn't lack height.
