does sacramento look like new orleans were not talking about the french qt or downtown!

The Delta is not trying to be like the South, the Delta has it's own history stretching back over 150 years. Comparing the Delta to the Paris Hotel in Vegas is just wrong and uncalled for. Walk through Locke and tell me it's a fake reproduction. The Ryde Hotel is a authentic art Deco hotel built in 1928 with almost no updates and the Grand Island Mansion is an Italian style Villa that you find all over the place in places like Napa. Nobody is trying to be like the South.

Yes when you are boating in the back meadows of the Delta, it can conjure up images of the bayou of Louisiana, but's because they are both deltas. Others have pointed out similarities with the Netherlands due to the flat network of levees.

As a native Houstonian, I think Mid-town looks a lot like the West University area in Houston and the area I live in (Rancho Cordova) looks very similar to the Oak Forest tract house area where I grew up. There are parts of the downtown area that looks like the area around Herman Park in Houston.

I don't see much similarity to New Orleans.

Kansas City - on a flat plain surrounded by agriculture with a river and a non-descript downtown (except Sacramento has a capitol building and lots of government office buildings).

Kansas City has a lot more brick than Sacramento. I'll still say the obvious, that we're closest to Portland as far as big cities are concerned.
