I think the city population is deceiving not the skyline. Also, the city population is over 500,000 now.

definitely in the loop, but how bout the lake...and look in behind it, you have entire stretches of blocks with grass growing and parking lots very close and the expressway running right through behind the sears tower on congress and kennedy.
its only thick for about congress to division and that is being generous b/c river north is mostly low rise, so thats 17 blocks, bout 2.1 miles.
anyway not really the point, I meant the stretch along the lake, really there is high rising going from south loop to loyola but only a block or so deep. it has almost a perfect layout along the water front and lots of other cities are just spread out everywhere is what i was trying to get across.

it has a long way to go though to be the 2nd best in the country. It's headed in the right direction and hopefully more buildings will break ground soon.
LA has a nice skyline.

Dade County is 2.5million, if you were talking about population.
