As much as I love Houston, San Francisco edges it out with the surrounding topography. Cincinnati or Baltimore?
I like Cincinnati's skyline a lot better than Baltimore's. Both cities have similar density-with Baltimore a bit stronger-but Cincinnati's tallest 2 are more striking than Baltimore's.

Cincinnati or Nashville?
Nashville. Nashville has very clearly passed Cincinnati in the skyline department. Nashville will continue to add new towers throughout the year and beyond. With a focus on the Gulch and East Bank, Nashville's density will also increase. Cincinnati does have better views and entrances into downtown which is something Nashville needs to increase visibility.

Nashville, TN or Columbus, OH?
Definitely Nashville with this matchup.
Columbus has several nice 400 ft+ skyscrapers, but not enough strong density and total number of towers to be able to match up with Nashville's skyline, any longer.
Nashville currently has jumped up to 31 total skyscrapers over 300 feet, and will have 37-38 by end of 2022. Just crazy growth!!
Nashville or San Diego?

Nashville or San Diego?
I find this comparison, to be MUCH closer than I thought. Like, photo finish close. Nashville might be on pace long term to have more buildings, but San Diego has(in my opinion, and I was comparing the list of tallest buildings for both these cities on Wikipedia for a good while) more interesting and less blah modern office buildings. I guess to me, too many of the recently finished skyscrapers in Nashville look more glassy than I prefer. Some of San Diego's newer buildings, don't look as overly glassy which I personally prefer. And while I do like how San Diego has that mountain backdrop in skyline pics, I have to say I really like the design of the Vanderbilt University Residences tower. I'm going to narrowly pick Nashville, as much as it was hard to do since I really like the mountain backdrop in San Diego skyline pics. And I also like the El Cortez Hotel building, when it comes to San Diego buildings over 300 feet.
This time, I am going to give Nashville a tougher competing city to go against. The last few cities that were brought up IMO, of course weren't quite going to be equal to Nashville. Anyway for the next one, and one I've never brought up myself in this thread(though I once brought up Nashville or Charlotte): Nashville, or Austin?

Do you want civilization to end? I think it could go either way. Nashville for greater structural density. Austin for taller buildings. Overall, Austin wins.
Pittsburgh, due to the scenery, bridges, and architectural diversity.
Brooklyn + Long Island City or San Francisco + Oakland?
Gonna go with San Fran and Oakland here. The TransAmerica pyramid is stunning and San Fran's skyline is one of the best in the US.
Brooklyn and Long Island City are newer competitors though in the taller skyline space--with a boom in skyscraper growth in the past 5 years+. Brooklyn has it's new supertall 1,066 foot skyscraper that has topped out, and there are several more in the 700-900 foot range going up in downtown Brooklyn. Long Island City has several more skyscrapers to add in the 600-800 foot range too. So both are ones to watch closely in the next decade.
But, San Fran edges it for me, due to its iconic skyline.
