Are East Coast cities Skylines out dated and boring?

LA is so spread out having tall buildings packed into 1 square mile is uneasissary.

LA was all about building out sprawl for decades now everything filled up so now its finally building up

I think dubai in regards to skylines and definitely modernization is up there to.

Dubai from afar looks amazing but ground level it looks like Sim City.. like there's nothing on the ground, no walk-ability, bars/restaurants, shops, etc. They're building skyscrapers like crazy but I believe alot of these buildings are half empty. They don't have the population. This article is a few years old but maybe things have changed:

Chicago

Everything else sucks. Miami has come up too

chicago is building like crazy dowtown. it's skyline is no less than #2 in the country. there's no debate on that.

Theres literally like one stretch for 3/4 a mile on Lakeshore that you can drive down in Chicago and get a decent view and thats coming around going north towards Grant Park from Soldier Field. Basically, unless you live in a high rise on the near north facing south, near west facing east or around Roosevelt your view is average as hell. The way its designed, Chicago's skyline as a resident is nothing like all the shots from helicopters over the Lake. Other cities like NY have skylines that also translate to pedestrians and drivers aesthetically.

I have noticed that if you look down certain streets such as indiana from like 43rd, 39th or 35th looking north, you have GREAT views of downtown.

I love Washington, DC's regulations of not having skyscrapers and letting the Monument and Capitol Buildings shine:
