The mountain backdrop to L.A. is impressive (see pic below), especially on clear winter days after snow has fallen. Summer days with smog (not as common as they used to be)--less so.
Yes the LA skyline has more 700 footers than Philly and more proposed and don’t get me wrong I like the LA skyline but when it comes to which Skyline looks more impressive I have to go with philly. The Comcast towers looks so dominant right next to each other. The liberty place towers do the same right next to each other.
