it kind of is when you dont get uptown and the other non downtown areas in the shot.

I keep telling you, Dallas skyline is puny.
Looks better at night cause the lights fills it in.

Looks ok from very far too.

But without uptown, downtown Dallas is far from the awesome skyline these Dallas posters try to paint

Now this is a good representative picture of each. Does Houston look massive? uhh, NO. Does Dallas look puny?? Nope.

Slightly larger, I'll stick with that! Take out one of the supertalls in Houston or add one to Dallas and theyre the same.

Houston



Dallas

You are forgetting how tall those buildings are in Houston. They dwarf all the buildings around them so they look like they are alone.

In Dallas tho the buildings seem to be a cluster here, a cluster there.

In your pics there are so many Houston buildings I don't see.

Again. Negligable difference. Everyone has conceded Houston is a bit bigger/taller, but its not hugely different. Such a stupid argument. If you want to see a visual difference of bigger and denser you have to jump up to SF(bigger/denser) or Chicago(bigger/denser/taller) or NYC(everything) in the US.

Not negligible at all. In your pics of Dallas it looks like 4 or 5 tall ones with many mid ride buildings.

The pics you posted of Houston show the giant buildings but the mid rise buildings don't show. Making it look like the two cities have a comparable number of buildings

How many people dont know that Houston IS the larger and taller skyline? The point is its not by much. Pictures never do Dallas justice. In person you Really get the feel of our skyline. Houstons is larger..but nobody ever denied that.
