Downtown San Jose is on the approach path to SJC.The FAA has imposed building height restrictions for the downtown area.



I think this might be the same issue with Phoenix.

It IS the most underrated city in the US. Also Pittsburgh blows Philly out of the water making sandwiches, including making a better Philly Cheese Steak than they do.



I love Pittsburgh but Primanti Bros suck. Get atomic pepperoni rolls instead.

As much as I hate Los Angeles, can't hate on the skyline when it's got the San Gabriel Mountains as a backdrop.


Yeah, everything else BUT the downtown skyline sucks about LA. It’s fine for a very large city, especially since no one works in those buildings.

Primanti Bros is indeed overrated, but there are some solid sandwich shops outside of it. I’m not referring to them when I say best sandwiches. Do Carson Street Deli. They make a hell of a sandwich.

That’s gotta be the most dystopian skyline I’ve seen. Fitting actually for the POS leadership that resides in it

In addition to some giant insurance companies, Proctor and Gamble is there, as is Luxottica, Kroger, Cintas, Scripps, FifthThird Bank, Macy's, and a number of other large corporate headquarters.

Lots of concrete it looks like


I think it's mostly the lighting in that particular picture. There are some ugly buildings and some cool buildings like the Art Deco Standard Life building, completed in the 1920s.

There may be laws limiting the height of buildings in San Jose. Charleston has them.

I’m saying US cities in general. Pittsburgh can be brought up in the same sentence as those.

There's no point in talking about the San Jose skyline, the Fort Worth skyline, etc.

Those are peripheral cities, not metropolitan centers. A fairer comparison might be to Arlington, VA or Sandy Springs, GA.

San Jose and Fort Worth still fall short of those places, but at least it's a more valid comparison.

That is shitty, especially for a city that populated.

The hills across the river from downtown Pittsburgh add to it.

I’m sure I’ll get downvotes and a couple death threats, but for a city it’s size, Shreveport has a nice night time skyline. Come at me

You’re right. Looks impressive when driving from the north.
