Without reading all 20 pages...after the first few I see everyone talking about which one was more pretty.
Well, the poll asks which is the MOST POWERFUL - not the most beautiful.
NYC by a landslide.
As for the beauty thing...the problem with NYC is, it's just so big each building loses it's identity where a smaller city you can focus on 4-5 buildings.
If you take the time to look at each building individually while walking down say 42nd street, you will see incredible beauty in the buildings from modern art deco to late 19th century victorian. Some of the newer stuff in Mid-town is outstanding.
Actually, the Freedom Tower will be taller than the Sears Tower, because the last time I checked, the spire is very much part of the tower.
Oh, and the Freedom Tower is under construction, already financed and will be completed while the Spire more than likely won't so I don't see how the dead...oops, I mean "delayed" Chicago Spire can pass the Freedom Tower.
And let me just throw this in for good measure,
Skyscrapers built:
Chicago
Built: 1075
Under Construction: 62
New York
Built: 6054
Under Construction: 154
No..The roof of the sears tower is higher than the roof of the Freedom Tower...there is just a huge spire on top making it the tallest building in the country in pinnacle height. Not From Ground to its roof.
And about the Spire, it will most definitely be built sometime within the next 2-3 years. Believe me though, if the Freedom Tower wasn't going to be where the twin towers once stood, it would have been canceled a while ago.

What Sears has is an antenna. Antennas do not count into what a tower's official height is as they are not part of its design; not put there for aesthetics. What 1 WTC will have is a spire, which is part of a tower's official height because it is apart of the design of the building. 1 WTC actually has both an antenna and Spire. Btw these are just the rules i don't make them up nor do i necessarily agree with them

How can you be so sure for one? And Number two, i highly disagree. I think 1 WTC, if it were not filling in that site, would have been built a long time ago. Like A LONG time ago because many, many reasons.

Are you saying that if 9/11 never happened they would be building the Freedom Tower @ the WTC plaza...I'm saying that if The Freedom Tower had been just another project, it would haven't been built.

no that is what im saying. If it was at a different site, just another project, it would have been built a while ago
