Disagree on all of them. The first two aren’t that different. Asheville and Wilmington are better for NC.
That's your opinion but I am from RI originally, and lived in both for a long time so I know the differences and what RI's believe; that there is a BIG difference between the two cities.
IMO, like coastal and touristy Newport vs very industrial PVD, coastal, colonial Charleston is very different from mountainous and forested and landlocked, Greenville.
You might have me on the Asheville comparison but I still think CLT and WLM are very different as well.
San Francisco and Los Angeles have noticeable contrasts but they aren't that much different from each other...
I also don't think Memphis and Nashville are "polar" opposites...
The only right answers to this thread are states in which two cities are in different regions. Having been in El Paso and DFW both within the last year, El Paso is maybe the most non-Texan city period compared to any other large Texas city. When I see people say "polar opposites" or things along those lines, I'm thinking of somewhere like El Paso compared to Dallas or Fort Worth. El Paso isn't even really close to being the same kinda place as other large Texas cities...
This dynamic doesn't exist like this in SF or LA, or in Memphis and Nashville. These cities are much more alike each other than El Paso is to aby big Texan city...
The only other place I'd say is "close" would be New York and Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse, but even then, the contrasts aren't as varied or as stark as El Paso to Big Texas. Those smaller Western NY cities are more similar to NYC than people perpetuate...
The real answer to this thread is that large cities within a state are generally more alike than not...

How are Nashville and Memphis not polar opposites? Memphis is a declining deep south city that is majority black. Nashville is a super hip trendy white city that is a tourist destination that has jobs flooding into it.
Seattle and Spokane are different in just about every way. Politically, culturally, socially, in terms of physical terrain, weather, etc. LA and San Francisco are different as well, but not as different.
