Skyscrapers look awful no matter what except from a distance. There, my opinion on that. Does that help? Not at all. Your esthetics are different from mine are different from your parent. I happen to like sprawled suburbs with lots of greenery. Not the typical actual "cul-de-sac" suburbia but like the more or less naturally grown looking very low density towns. With huge lots but not huge houses. Skyscrapers are of course marvels of engineering and I can appreciate them for that and some even for the esthetics from afar. The Burj Al Arab did look majestic though I'm not sure how close exactly I was. I would never want to live there. Lots of people that close to each other, all next to other buildings that size tend to breed problems. Not that the Burj has that particular problem but a Chicago and New York do. Not that I'm going to solve over population but that doesn't change the fact that overpopulation breeds issues.
