Vancouver, BC or Dallas, TX?
Vancouver. Dallas looks small for its size. Also, the building architecture is not everyone's cup of tea. Vancouver has better scenery as well.

Portland, OR or Austin, TX?

Vancouver. The sheer amount of buildings alone. Just repetitive architecture. Continuing with the theme what about Honolulu or Vancouver?

Austin, TX has the more dynamic and overall larger skyline with many more buildings. I do like Portland's overall aesthetic though, and its surroundings much better.

I'd give Austin the edge, though, overall.

Cincinnati or Nashville?

I like both but Nashville looks bigger and still a lot more buildings on the drawing board. Honolulu or Vancouver?

I'd go with Vancouver with this match-up. Both have terrific density and are in beautifully gorgeous geographic locations.

But Vancouver seems to have a "tighter" skyline, with a bit more height, overall.

Nashville or Cleveland?

Cleveland, since its buildings win at street level and have a bigger variety of architectural eras/styles, as well as a Great Lake fronting it. (See previous posts in this thread, of which there are at least three for more details).

Hollywood or Westwood? (Both in L.A.)

I'm gonna go with Westwood. Taller towers, more sleek. Hollywood's skyline has grown though, and is looking better and better.

Long Island City, Queens or downtown Brooklyn?

Downtown Brooklyn. More towers although Long Island City doesn't look bad. Phoenix or Tampa?

Phoenix but Tampa is catching up. Phoenix has nice height but could use more distinctive architecture.

Nashville, TN or Oakland, CA?

On municipalities alone I’m inclined to go with Nashville. It has the more iconic building out of the bunch (the AT&T / “Batman” Building). That said Oakland wins points for a greater variety of vantage points - you have the skyline from the Bay, from Lake Merritt, or in the hills looking down. The latter is a killer view especially with SF across the water in the background - though perhaps for the sake of this exercise we’re assuming anything past Oakland is just white space.

Grand Rapids or Lansing, MI?
