If you are saying it is all or none, then it is none. The first and last photo are certainly NOT part of Los Angeles. Wrong landscaping and freeways are strange. We don't use concrete like that out here (or at least have concrete that new!)

The second to last photo could possibly be a suburb, but nowhere is Los Angeles city limits. The rolling hills could be Thousand Oaks area or possibly somewhere in the San Gabriel Valley.

I was bluffing when I said all or none. 2 or 3 of them are in the L.A. area.

Technically that photo is not part of the city of Los Angeles. East Los Angeles (on the sign in the picture) is an unincorporated community that has services provided by the County of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles has a lot of place like that.
I think East L.A. is more of a neighborhood them its own city.

SoFla:

Lol I must say though, SoCal definitely lines their streets better with palm trees than SoFla.

^^^ My house has that same style. And same type of pool. It's weird how sunbelt cities on the coast (Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, Tampa) all have that same style, but at the same time it's pretty cool.

My house:

I really like Mediterranean style homes a lot.

Thanks! It accounts for more a lot of the reason why I like Houston. So much people don't know about.

Miami steps up from Los Angeles, Tampa, & Houston though, it's got those on islands, which is actually quite a baller sight- must be awesome to live on a small island.
