Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago, NYC, and Dallas. Maybe Phoenix in some ways.

Yes NYC belongs. Someone tell me why it shouldn't belong and think long about it.

While I think this is pretty cool, I wouldn't wish to be stuck without transportation just in case the elevator stops working suddenly.

Me too.

A lot of Dallas does look very modern yet a lot of it still looks like its stuck in the 70's & 80's.

The new park deck & bridge are nice modern additions. I drove under the park deck & it feels like you're in a NYC tunnel for a very & I mean very short distance.

new york city is more of a mixed bag actually. downtown Brooklyn, and the west side of manhattan, and the upper east side(not the residential sides) have futuristic items.

where as the the middle of midtown, and downtown look old to the core.

But on another note, has anyone seen how futureistic Dubai looks?
