As for densest county, is LA County denser than Manhattan, i.e. New York County? Or Brooklyn, i.e. Kings County? How about San Francisco County?

But yes, great photo.

New York County (ie Manhattan) is still the most densely populated county in the US although the population density of the Los Angeles MSA is higher overall since the suburbs in the Western US tend to be more dense.

Since we are discussing skylines and NOT "street" interaction or what have you, this is my list. I love defining features and I love height. I love varied architecture and I love waterfront vistas so long as the skyline follows my prior guidelines. Size is always nice, but I prefer a skyline that looks vastly different from different angles. This is of course achieved with some sort of size. If I put myself in the position of a normal person who knows nothing about cities and buildings and I feel like I would not necessarily remember the skyline and have the ability to associate it with a particular city, then it does not make the top 10 cut.

1. Chicago

2. New York Lower Manhattan

3. Seattle

4. Atlanta

5. Philadelphia

6. Boston

7. San Francisco

8. Miami

9. Charlotte

10. Minneapolis

There are so many decent American skylines that its hard to rank them.. I see Philadelphia high on the top ten of others while in some it's not. I think its a matter of too many choices that people tend to forget other skylines

How do you all think about the Las Vegas skyline?.
Some nice buildings are under construction now.
