Canada simply builds cities differently. Rosslyn is nice, but its a joke compared to NYCC. Its truly a city onto itself.
It's not a good comparison, that's why it's a joke. Rosslyn is just one urban village in a string of a few along a mile or two stretch. From east to west, in Arlington, the city where Rosslyn is located, it goes Rosslyn-Courthouse-Clarendon-Virginia Square-Ballston. I think NVCC is taller, longer and denser, but comparing Rosslyn to NVCC would be like looking at one-third of that Buckhead photo and trying to make a comparison.
