Deceiving Skylines (bigger, people, Chicago, downtown)

[YoYoMa69]

LOL. I wouldn't call them nice pictures. I posted them cuz you SJers kept hyping them up. I think they show just how pitiful SJ's skyline really it. None of them look even remotely impressive to me. But if I did leave out an impressive one, post it yourself.

Charlotte's is deceiving for the opposite reason.

I wouldnt call Charlotte's deceiving in that respect. Charlotte is urban for a southern city. No not like nyc, Boston, etc but it is builtup! In fact I would say that Charlottes skykine is deceiving in that it makes the city look like it has 4-5 million people instead of 2- 3 million.

That's the point the other poster was making. Also, Charlotte MSA is in the 1-2 million range. Let's not go overboard here.

No, the csa is 2.5 million in a smaller area than a couple of other southern major cities msa's..so you are right lets not go overboard

Houstons because its more dense and taller than it looks.

Los Angeles
because it looks so different depending on its angle
it could look like a nice small dense packed skyline with a nice point
or as a larger spreadout skyline wen looking at it form the west or east.
Also its massive towers tend to overshadown considerably the density of its older inner core
