But I prefer not to define tiers by individual ranking because you then you really need to apply the same methodology for the rest of the cities in the nation.

you are free to tier things how ever you want. there are no rules to this silly game.
but i think for many of us, to properly respect the
GIANT skyline gaps between NYC and the rest, and then between chicago and the rest, it makes sense to tier those two independently.
if we open this up to canada ("america jr."), then toronto is climbing into tier 2 status with chicago right now, so you'll get something that looks more like this:
tier 1: NYC
tier 2: chicago, toronto
tier 3: the rest
tier 4: the other rest
tier 5: and so on

what's interesting about sunny isles (a beach burb 12 miles north of downtown miami) is that it's now home to 15 500+ footers. that would place it 12th in the nation for number of such buidlings.
now, whether or not you like the aesthetics of linear beach-front condo skylines is an entirely different matter, but the numbers are a bit eye-opening none-the-less.
