Place City Population Area Buildings Points
1. Hong Kong 6,787,000 1,001 km� 7,240 109,846
2. New York City 8,084,316 800 km� 5,246 34,885

How the hell does HK get 75,000 more points with only 2000 more buildings?!

That skyline ranking is so stupid. HK may very well have the #1 skyline but this way of quantifying it is useless.

[biguc]

it is stupid. how the fuck does missisagua rate.
