At least I guessed it was in Asia somewhere
I went to Korea during the 2002 World Cup ..... ok, I don't really count since I got most of my education in another country.

They think their skylines are so much bigger & better than Houston's & will grasp at straws to get their point across...on this forum anyways.
We saw the list and why are we irrelevant on this topic. We saw the same link it was posted in city vs city. In my opinion our individual buildings are alot nice, even other people outside of Atlanta postetd have said this but the skyline isn't bigger than Houstons

I am 5' 10.5" tall. If I move back to Houston, will it help or hurt its tallest city ranking?

Busan is the 2nd largest city in South Korea. Great coastal city down on the southeastern tip of the peninsula. Important port city. Building a couple of massive towers.
Busan is where Hawkey Pierce and the M*A*S*H crew went to get drunk and chase women.

Hurt, unless you affix yourself permanently to the top of the Chase Tower. I can bring the duct tape.

Looks like Houston needs to build a few more tall buildings, Im sure that 60 st. W Hotel would look perfect downtown.

Houston was picked for the movie Robo Cop 2 because we have a verry modern looking city with a nice sky line back in 91
