OT: Which City has best Skyline

[FiliUTEP]

One thing about el paso. It doesnt have tall skyscrapers. But i still consider the Civic Center one of the coolest biuldings ive seen. Anyone know who designed the building?

Shanghai

Dubai

NYC

Phoenix

Phoenix with over 4 million has no building over 400 and something feet, it's very small based on the size. Compared to let's say Seattle for instance. Even Austin has larger buildings. Also Tucson is building a 350ft tower so their skyline I'll now make ours look bad. Build it and they will come, let's all pitch in and build a 500ft tower, what's the going rate for one of those lol

Although these are not true skyscrapers it is nice to see that the Downtown El Paso skyline is changing slowly but surely.

I dont think New Yorks is the best. I know they are building some new buildings. But i like how Dubi looks with its buildings. The buildings look futuristic. Same with tokyo and Hong Kong. I thin Chicagos is better than New Yorks. I like how the river goes through Chicago.

And about El Paso. Any ideas of how to make El Pasos Skyline look better? Why doesnt Juarez help and have any tall buildings? Lol

I once heard there’s a height limit because downtown sits on the sandy river bed, but flights also do approach over downtown depending on the wind and approach direction.

An easy way to make our downtown look more impressive would be to light up the buildings at night. Never understood why they’re all dark.

I agree, Wells Fargo should be lit and so should the other 3 Prominent Buildings. As far as the height limit I don't know how accurate that is. It seems more the business is just not here to accommodate many tall office buildings. For instance Westar will be nice, but small at 14 stories. Maybe things will change if we get Amazon. Also the new Apt/hotel just approved will be our first building over 300 ft finally and probably close to 400 ft
