Los Angeles and San Francisco IMO.

I hate one and love the other. Also San Diego Sacramento.

Jacksonville and Miami are polar opposites.

I assume there's a size minimum? If not then there are hundreds of combinations that are far more different before we start talking about these options...

But assuming metro areas of 1M or more, I'd say Jax vs Miami is a good choice. NYC vs Buffalo or Rochester is up there as well. In CA, SD and Sac strike me as the two most different large metros.

I don't know if Richmond and Norfolk are drastically more different from each other compared to the differences between Raleigh and Charlotte. However, I think Virginia cities differ more from each other than NC cities overall. I agree that Buffalo and NYC would be the winner of this thread.

Richmond and Norfolk are much more different from each other than Raleigh and Charlotte are from each other. Richmond and Norfolk don't physically resemble each other, the people don't have the same accents, the weather is different enough to note, the education levels of the populace are different, the workforce is different, socially they are different on almost any level....

Before I moved to Norfolk I had the impression of them being more alike than not, but now having lived in both, it is clear that one would get a different Virginia in each...

Raleigh and Charlotte at least physically resemble each other. Same style of historic neighborhoods, sane style of new urbanism, virtually the same weather patterns. Those two are just easily more alike than Norfolk and Richmond...
