Same kind of thing is happening in Calgary. I prefered the skyline pre-Bow and 8th Ave (which is clearly a penis. It even has a head and frenulum). It was mostly 70s and 80s buildings. Now it kind of looks like an Asian city with a bunch of unique glass buildings that don't complement each other.
Look at Shanghai- it's the skyline version of the Homer car from The Simpsons.
You have to be literally the only person on earth with that opinion on downtown skylines. You be all joking, right?
