According to this video, and the comments, the Bay Area is not a good place for exotic car spotting. So we can scratch that one from the list.

Yes, you would think the area with the 2nd most centi-millionaires in the world and hundreds of thousands of millionaires would have these kinds of cars overflowing, but such is not the case-I think this comment from the vid you posted says it best:

There is a ton of money in the bay.. people just don't flex nearly as hard as in LA


I think maybe it's a tech thing? who knows.

Yeah, most likely; they’d rather spend more $$ on hoodies than exotic cars. Whereas LA flexes as a result of the entertainment industry, Miami flexes as a result of the finance industry presence (think Wolf of Wall Street)—both of these types (along with Instagram, Only Fans, OTH poseurs) h feel the need to spread their wings and draw attention, I.e. peacocks, more so than tech bros.

I feel like Miami is the place where everyone has money, just don’t ask questions about how they got it. Lots of affluence from Latin America, certain “families” from NY, etc.

Maybe that has changed some and it’s really more finance now?

Finance, small business, family $ from abroad, transplants and “creative accounting” (money laundering, fraud, illicit activities).

This data doesn’t look accurate as I’ve read here that Atlanta and Miami have more money than DC and LA.
