How impressive a skyline is relates to how you can seat. Waterfront skylines, e.g. Miami, Chicago, Seattle, are most impressive when viewed from the water. Even NYC is generally "viewed" from a water perspective. But most of the time the viewer, the resident, is not on the water. So in my view it is more important to have various views of the skyline spring up from various perspectives while driving or walking around.
