My vote is Memphis.

Columbus GA, since you have set a pretty low population threshold here.

Perhaps it’s too low, but in my experience, it’s around the 190,000 level mark where you first start seeing the 400+ feet-tall buildings.

Spokane is bad but I'm 100% sure that it's better than Columbus

Garland, TX - 234,585

We definitely do not have a strong Skyline here in Lexington

That church’s steeple is giving your tallest building a run for its money.

Moreno Valley, CA. Pop 208,000. There's no skyline this is the best I could do

This is from the top of their wiki. I guess it's "downtown". That's the problem, there are entire residential suburbs over 200,000

You have to start at least at 500,000.

Isn't the answer always San Jose?

Or it just needs to be that the city is the major business district in the metro area. All of these high population places with no skylines are satellite cities and suburbs of a main bigger city.
Garland, TX… Dallas
Gilbert, AZ… Phoenix

Instead of increasing the population, maybe need to narrow the candidates down to hubs as opposed suburbs.
The boat has it right.
Think Little Rock or Albuquerque, not Brooklyn.

There are still issues anyway because populations extend a long way, but different municipalities have their city limits at different distances from the center. I don't think there's any pattern. So in Jacksonville you are way out in the country but still in Jacksonville. In Birmingham you cross the street and you're in Mountain Brook or Irondale or wherever.
I don't think there's any pattern. Population doesn't tell you much
