San Francisco City Skyline Twilight, San Francisco

Plenty of folks have left their hearts in the City by the Bay, but more than 800,000 choose to stay here—meaning this municipality of less than 50 square miles has the highest population density of any major US city besides New York. The population's not all that's risen recently: San Francisco's downtown got a height boost in 2018 when Salesforce Tower added more than 200 feet to the skyline. Dominating the center of our sunset snapshot, the César Pelli-designed tower took the city height record from the Transamerica Pyramid seen at far right, which had held the top spot since 1972.
