I'd say Seattle because they both have modern skylines with many skyscrapers, and they are linear due to being on narrow strips of land between geographical features. Also they are both located in corners of the US, even though they are opposite and thus opposite climates. On that note Miami and Phoenix are both hot/sunbelt cities but even then it's a different kind of heat.
Is Miami more similar to Atlanta or Los Angeles?
I’d say Los Angeles by far. Miami has the same flashy culture and star presence that LA has and while Atlanta has its own fair share of entertainment stars and flashy personas it doesn’t match up to the other two. Miami and LA are warm beach cities that have lots of palm trees whereas Atlanta is inland and more continental in both climate and vegetation. Miami and LA follow a dense sprawl development pattern whereas Atlanta’s sprawl is very sparse. Miami and LA are much bigger Latin American hubs than Atlanta as well.
Is Philadelphia more similar to Baltimore or Chicago?

Is Philadelphia more similar to Baltimore or Chicago?
Yes.
Seriously, Philadelphia has a split personality.
Its center, the ring of neighborhoods surrounding the center and its southerly, northeasterly and northwesterly reaches more closely resemble Chicago in their urbanity, tempo and character. Baltimore's similar precincts seem sleepier in my estimation.
But Philly's poorer neighborhoods seem to me to more closely resemble Baltimore's in that they are pockmarked rather than mowed down and have pockets of activity in them. (But that also describes the commercial districts in Chicago's poorer neighborhoods.)

I guess, then, Chicago overall.
Is Kansas City more like Denver or St. Louis?
Denver for sure. Very similar layout and infrastructure (except airports, but KC is working on that). Kansas City is a vibe. The city shares a subculture of health and wellness/indie music. Kansas City and Denver are also growing faster and less urban.

Is St. Louis more similar to Memphis or Atlanta?
Tough one. It really feels like it's smack in the middle of those two. I guess I'll lean toward Memphis since the Atlanta MSA is still growing fast and the other two are stagnant, Atlanta is more ethnically diverse than the other two, and St. Louis and Memphis both have suburbs immediately adjacent to them in a different state. St. Louis feels like it has a much bigger white-collar job presence than Memphis, but I probably just don't know the Memphis area well enough.

Is Tucson more like Milwaukee or Houston?
I say Milwaukee because they are closer in size and near larger metropolitan areas. Which is more like Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Columbus OH?

Pittsburgh. Though neither Ohio city is as mountainous as the 'Burgh, both Cleveland and Pittsburgh share an industiral heritage that Columbus lacks, and Cleveland has more varied terrain within its metropolitan area.

Is Philadelphia more like New York or Boston?
Overall, Boston. Two of the original Three major port cities in this country. They still share a lot of the same characteristics in terms of colonial history, local pride and fiercely defending their own orbit that's not "like NY".
Is Key West more similar to Charleston or New Orleans?

Is Key West more similar to Charleston or New Orleans?
Charleston based on things to do. Boardwalk culture and older crowds are common themes. They are also not as diverse.
Is Provo, UT more similar to Aspen, CO or Bozeman, MT?
Bozeman. They're closer in size and demographics. Is Kansas City more similar to Des Moines or Oklahoma City?
Close call. Demographics, size, and layout are closer to Oklahoma City. Both metros are sprawly and have more active downtowns.
Is Nashville more similar to Louisville or Cincinnati?
