I like Augusta's river setting a lot more than Macon, but Macon edges Augusta just for a bit more density.

Downtown Brooklyn, NY or Austin, TX?

Aesthetically and to how the buildings look, I like the appearance and look of Austin's downtown buildings better. And the park I see along the river running through it(Colorado River), adds to making myself prefer Austin's appearance. Brooklyn would win I won't deny when it comes to density, though. I think Austin more reminds me of say Richmond, VA, Nashville, TN, or Columbus, OH, as examples for its downtown and skyline.

And I'll bring up the comparison I had in my mind, when thinking about Roanoke's skyline in that previous post. And do that comparison now. Roanoke, VA, or Charleston, WV?

I like Charleston's better. Looks more dense. San Antonio or Ft Worth?

San Antonio, TX. It has more potential and prettier surroundings. Both could use more density.

Denver, CO or Boston, MA?

I like Boston's by a hair. I think Boston's continued skyscraper growth will elevate it to the top 10 best skylines in the next decade.

Asheville, NC or Columbia, SC?

Billings MT or Fargo ND?

I notice a lot more buildings in Columbia's skyline that stand out, vs. with Asheville. So Columbia for me, even if Asheville has mountains in its skyline. It seems Columbia(at least from pics I found in my searches) has a little more density, too.

I guess for the most recent one, Billings the more I relook and think about both skylines. While Fargo does have a mix of old and new buildings in its downtown I like, Billings has some old buildings too, and TBH I slightly prefer Billings. And I think Billings' tallest building is slightly taller, than the tallest building in Fargo?

Charlotte, or Nashville?

Charlotte, or Nashville?
Close. Love Nashville's wide skyline, but I choose Charlotte for its impressive Piedmont crowns and much taller buildings. You can see it 100 miles away.

Cincinnati, OH or Oakland, CA?

I said Cincinnati. Buildings look taller. St. Petersburg FL or St. Paul MN?
