I already have. Numerous times. This is why you're forced into strawman arguments--I never said there was "hustle and bustle" in Anaheim, but it's easily more alive than DC's suburbs, which have an exurban feel in comparison.

Anaheim, 25-30 miles from DTLA, has a more dense, inner-ring suburban feel than Wheaton DC, which is only 11 miles from Washington DC. That's a pretty big hint that the two regions are nothing alike. Similar demographics to disguise this:

"Hustle and bustle" to me is not much different than "things going on." So what exactly is going on in Anaheim and Cerritos that's not going on in most suburbs? The mall? The freeway? Lawn care? Disneyland?

You must be joking...

Brilliant logic--I guess there's no difference between the South Bronx and Midtown Manhattan either. Both have shops, restaurants, businesses, transit, and pedestrian activity. They're pretty much identical!

You still dodged the question. What's going on in Anaheim or Montebello that's not going on in Wheaton? Band camp car washes? Driveway basketball games? Johnny Rockets?

Definitely Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and/or Queens/LI, but these are still a bit far fetched.

Nothing to dodge, you're making a terrible point. The activities you listed can be also done in areas of Brooklyn and Queens, does that make them the spitting image of Wheaton?

Yeah, some people just don't do nuance.

"Things going on"? Well, tonight at The Grove- Babyface
Official Site of the City National Grove of Anaheim - Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds

Also tonight in Anaheim- Paul Simon and Sting.
Paul Simon & Sting - 8:00 p.m. February 16 - Honda Center | Orange County | Voice Places

That's at the Honda Center, home to an NHL franchise and a Stanley Cup. Which is a few blocks away from Anaheim Stadium, home to Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton, Jared Weaver, Albert Pujols and your Angels. Which is a few miles from the second most highly attended theme resort in the world, drawing 23 million visitors annually, comprised of two parks and an entertainment area with an ESPN Zone, a live jazz venue and a House of Blues. Which is near the largest convention center on the West Coast.

Of course, most people take a car to get to these places, so they might as well not even exist.

And no, Orlando is not the same as Montebello.

Atlanta in overall feel and landscape

Miami or NYC in terms of people and culture.

So what cities on the East Coast are similar to Los Angeles.
None of them.

Outside of Latin & European culture, Miami's diversity is nothing like LA's.

The Asian population in Miami is pathetic for a metro its size.
