Not just in how the city looks but overall in terms of vibe, type of people that flock to it, its economy, the atmosphere. Some says its like Portland others like Cali but which cities? Is it so unique it can't be compared to.

And Austin97 are you saying those cities look like Austin in terms of aesthetics, layout or do they have the vibe, similar culture and atmosphere? I don't assume Nashville to have that crunchy liberal vibe or tech economy. My guess is a mix of Portland, San Francisco and maybe Sacramento?
Austin is the capital of the US state of Texas and the seat of Travis County. Located in Central Texas, Austin is the 11th-most populous city in the United States and the fourth-most populous city in Texas. It is the fastest growing of the largest 50 US cities. Austin is also the second largest state capital in the United States, after Phoenix, Arizona. As of July 1, 2014, Austin had a population of 912,791 (U.S. Census Bureau estimate). The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin–Round Rock metropolitan area, which had an estimated population of 1,943,299 as of July 1, 2014.
Prague was way more walkable, and had an awesome waterfront just like Austin - not industrial like other cities. Lots of wandering souls are attracted to both cities.
