Whereas Hollywood, Beverly Hills or Malibu are all more prominent in people's minds as their own distinct places.
Malibu definitely isn't. People don't know much about it besides the name. I'm not going to argue Brooklyn either way, since my perspective is biased. Brooklyn is rather familiar in Massachusetts, obviously. More so than Malibu. So I don't really know what people around the world think. This singer mentions Brooklyn of things she wants to see in the US. Only cities mentioned are NYC and LA.

I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good

Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication...
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication

The east side closer to downtown gets pretty sketchy.

Dismissing was a poor choice of words on my part. My point is LA is peculiar in that oftentimes there's more to it than meets the eye.
