L.A. has more tall buildings and more are under construction, but I agree that Philadelphia does have more historic structures, and the two Comcast towers & a few others are nice. L.A. was stuck with a dumb 150 foot height limit law until the late 1950s. Only a few buildings were given waivers to go higher (e.g. LA City Hall). 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.
