I always though our(Philly) skyline was lackluster
u pulled 2 of the worse pictures
san antonio is what u call bad
Yes I agree SA is bad. But for the previous statement a skyline should look good from all angles, day or night time. Dallas has like 10 buildings in that second photo.
^^^^^^^You obviously never been to Dallas then. Their Downtown isn't as live but they have a dope skyline especially at night. Seeing the lights from the skyline from a wedding reception patio 
My city, Sacramento, may not have the best nightlife downtown , but we have a dope skyline.
Only SF is better in Northern California. I did a half marathon in San Diego back in August and seeing the sunrise of Downtown SD from the race start in Point Loma was beautiful brehs
On the other hand,
San Antonio, Fresno, Albuquerque and San Jose are the worse I've seen in person. SJ was a whole lot worse 15 years ago with its skyline.

I've driven through Dallas. It really isn't as good as you put it, no offense. That's like saying Austin or Cleveland has a good skyline. Not that it is as bad as those two (Dallas >>> Cleveland) but they both have barren skylines in my opinion and are in the Bushes category.
A discussion once brought out the idea that skylines are like family portraits. It isn't about as much as you can cram into one space to see but it is more about how elegant you can make yourselves all look in terms of size and space. serious people who look into this stuff often give Chicago the pass before NYC for skylines because it isn't a dense mess but more flowing and serene.
If lights are your thing go see SF's. The density really brings it out without overdoing it.

no disrespect, but i been to sac a few times, and i gotta say i thought the downtown was so lackluster. never seen the skyline at night, but in day, its one of the smallest downtowns ive ever been too.
also no disrespect, but i hate sac.

Vancouver is amazingly beautiful. I really like that city.
expand on this comment please
forgot about dc. for this to be the nation's capital is pathetic
Building regulations. Can't build higher than the Washington monument because you're supposed to be able to see it no matter where you are in the city.

Don't they have a ordnance or law in DC where no building can be taller than the Washington Monument?

Sac supposed to be way better than that homie. Ya'll the state capital. and that skyline is lackluster for thee state capital of California. And yes I've been there several times. You need to show some different angles. you got the building in the background. you tryin' to enhance it with the bridge being the focal point.
