Sorry to pull your CARD , but Los Angeles is not on the Coast..it's
inland....and you have never stepped foot in LA if you think that
it looks like Phoenix or Sacramento..City Data Buster...

You find me a city that was able to redevelope its central grid and improve its public transit on the scale that portland has, and I will concede that portland is not unique..until then...

You think that public transit makes a city unique..go on with your bad
self............

SF excells at drawing tourists because city officials long ago realized that trying to lure any type of industry or business would result in total failure. So they wisely pumped money into their tourism, because that is the only thing pulling in relevant revenue in SF. Tourists and the money they spend. All the big money is in Silicon valley, and tourists do not go there, nor (outside of the niche industry) is the place unique. The same freeway haze in Silicon valley can be seen more clearly with more grandure in LA.

More non-sense where are you from...San Francisco Is A INTERNATIONAL
TOURIST DESIGNATION BECAUSE IT"S UNIQUE........over the last 100 yrs

San Francisco is one of those "WE'RE THE ONLY CITY ON EARTH" cities.

It's just like every other city on the west coast, with the exception of San Diego.

New Orleans
New York City

These are the purest of the pure when you are talking about "unique"
Any other city could easlily be seen as a "knock off" or lesser version of one of these.

There are hundreds of unique smaller cities and towns. Too many to name.

Now there's a great list.................

From what I've seen New Orleans, Vegas, and Honolulu

NY is like Chicago and vice versa
San Franciso is like other Pacific cities
Boston is like Philly
LA is like a lot of sun belt cities

Other than Skyscrapers, how is Chicago like NYC? How is LA like "a lot of sun belt cities"? but yet Las Vegas is not "like" Atlantic City?

New York City
Seattle
San Francisco
Chicago
Washington D.C.
Boston
