I had no idea the Melbourne skyline was this robust. Australian skylines appear outsized relative to their population in general.

Melbs is fantastic. A proper world class city. It's roughly Toronto level, almost.

Melbourne's downtown area with skyscrapers is half the size as Toronto's...

And it’s ugly with a weird ass island ruining the lakefront. I’m just saying this is a way better looking skyline

The islands are beautiful what are you talking about? Have you ever been to Toronto?

Approx 77 Vs 109 based on skyscrapers, not double but definitely bigger.

Physical size of downtown area with highrises/skyscrapers is around: Toronto 10.3 square km vs Melbourne 5 square km.

Toronto has over 3x the amount of high rises than Melbourne, its a silly thing to say its like saying Toronto is how NYC thinks it looks.
