Dubai vs Brisbane: http://www.strawpoll.me/10292314
>>
>>59801327
>Brisbane
How are you gonna compare a desert city that literally began less than 30 years ago to an established city that's been there for centuries and is in a relatively moderate climate with trees and lakes and shit like that?

Doesn't make sense. Give Dubai another 50 or so years and then we can make some comparisons.

There's something really boring and mundane about Brisbane. I kind of prefer Perth, or even Gold Coast, though they're somewhat smaller.
>>
>>59806040
I was considering to include Gold Coast instead but Brisbane is larger

apart from the Infinity Tower yes Brisbane is pretty boring I mean it looks like just some average boxy American skyline
>>
>>59806040
anyway yesterday you were saying you hope the HK towers will raise above the hills - they never did because there are height restrictions in that area, skyscrapers actually can't be taller than the hills

Well, Gold Coast isn't that small, but I suppose it's a bit smaller. It's funny how the skyscraper district there is technically a suburb.

Well, Victoria Peak there is just over 500 meters, which isn't much larger than the tallest tower.
