San Jose is a great skateboard city. Check out Mark Suciu's video filmed skating there at night.

Who needs coffee shops and hipsters when the whole downtown is a play ground?

No, LA does not feel midwestern AT ALL! It just feels western. San Diego, I understand, but not at all LA. But as for the question, definately the Bay Area.

Oakland and San Francisco because they both act and feel like a east coast city.
Architecture looks similar (more like Midwestern but close to east coast)
Ridership on rail is high
Density of both cities is comparable to established east coast cities (specifically NE but also miami which has 11,000 ppl per sq mile)

Plus Oakland has ghettos like east coast cities.

That's how it seems! I was thinking the same thing!

I'm not sure how much of it is actual influence, but no city seems more eastern to me than Seattle.
