Ranking of the most beautiful cities in the USA

[Jasi]

...according to ISHiots.

Post your Top 10 or even more if you wish.

And remember it should be a "most beautiful", not "best city to live in" ranking.

A liberal would probably find this question to be a micro aggression.

Denver should be up there

Beauty and US City generally aren't two words i'd put together tbh.

Maybe DC? It has nice buildings and structure and provides a nice contrast to a nation of high-rises and skyscrapers. Charleston was nice. Smaller places in the South and West of the country are much nicer than the vast urban metropolis of places like Chicago, New York, LA, Miami etc.

But really, America isn't the place to go for beautiful cities. There's about a half dozen nicer looking cities in the tiny Netherlands than anything in the States. Generally not a fan.

Yeah I agree about the comparison vs other areas in the world but I'm still curious.
Charleston, San Francisco, Boston, Newport, New Orleans, Seattle appear in many lists... let's hear what the Americans say.

Charleston, SC
Lexington, KY
Charlotte, NC
Beaufort, SC (not sure if this counts as a city)
Asheville, NC

Some of my favorites anyway.

metro cities arent naturally "beautiful" by default because they are cluttered with population. beauty is suppose to be simplistic, less is more. small historic towns in america are considered beautiful. towns with natural landscapes are beautiful.

So Rome is not beautiful? Paris? London?

paris and rome does not have skyscrapers which stacks population on top of one another. also, rome has a level of historic value. romes population density is about 3500 people per square mile where as a metro city like chicago has 12,000 people per square mile.

San Francisco
Austin

Ok so you meant "cities full of skyscrapers are not beautiful", that's a totally different point.

no, thats just 1 example of "less is beautiful". even cities with no skyscrapers but alot of 2-3floor buildings would be less beautiful than towns with 1-2 story homes.

Not sure what you actually want to say.
Measuring beauty by the numbers of floors seems pointless to me.
The most beautiful capitals in Europe have plenty of 3+ storey buildings in their city centres
It all depends on whether those buildings are beautiful or not.

what do you mean you dont understand what im trying to say? ive said it in every post, less is more beautiful. simplicity is more beautiful. quality over quantity.

not really hard to understand, only an idiot would struggle with that concept.

I just wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, because it's such an idiotic concept that I couldn't believe you were actually insisting on it.
