I thought he was talking about the skyline...but it still doesn't make sense even if he was.

It matters what you mean by "best skyline" Miami wins if your talking about density but Houston wins when your talking about height. Atlanta might have some tall buildings but its not as tall as Houston and definitely not as dense as Miami.

I like Atlanta's buildings but Houston's skyline height with Miami's density and quantity topped with Dallas's glitter.

Well I haven't been to Houston and some of these pictures make it look great, others make it look decent at best but I love Miami and Atlanta. Between the two I prefer Miami's skyline because of how elongated it is but still dense especially by Brickell Ave and also driving over the McArthur Causeway at night. I wonder how many people here have seen all of Miami:

^^^ Those pictures are old but are still pretty impressive. You can tell they are older by how many cranes there are.

Here’s my top 10 in order….

1.) Houston
2.) Miami
3.) Atlanta
4.) Dallas
5.) Charlotte
6.) Tampa
7.) Nashville
8.) Louisville
9.) Orlando
10.) Jacksonville

Houston in my opinion is the most to see in person (architecturally) very closely followed by Miami then Atlanta.

In no particular order, I assume?
