This makes me think of natural setting debates on SSP and how usually people usually implicitly translate "best natural setting" as "most dramatic big photo op with downtown in it". There's nothing wrong with that interpretation but it does not always capture the charm of what is available to visitors and residents. Some subtler Toronto examples are the beaches, the islands, and the Prince Edward Viaduct plus ravines. And lots of cities have great terminated urban vistas due to topography that aren't really that grandiose from a natural perspective. Of course, the cities with the best main photo ops often do better in these other areas too.
