I have a question about Miami.
How does it have so many skyscrapers with not that large a population?
It looks like a city of 5 million.

The metropolitan area is almost 5, 500, 000 and currently ranks 7th in the U.S. Yet, the city of Miami itself is only just under 36 sq ml in area. It is one of the smallest cities in the country, kind of like San Francisco in a way which is another small city with a huge skyline.

Here's a view of the Atlanta skyline from a different perspective than is normally seen. Keep in mind, this is still not the whole thing. Behind the building they are taping from there are about 6 highrises going north, and another 7 going east all with in a mile of this location. As well as the Perimeter skyline 5 miles from that location.
Obviously that person had no idea what he/she was talking about. Atlanta and Miami are practically the same size.
