Atlanta? I would say Dallas. Both developed over roughly the same period, both have their wealthier neighborhoods on the north side and less affluent on the south side. Each Atlanta neighborhood seems to have a counterpart located in roughly the same compass direction from downtown.
University Park = Buckhead, Brookhaven
Highland Park = Morningside, Druid Hills
Richardson = Dunwoody
and so on.
Well sf right now is the closest...maybe Seattle/Vancouver/parts of LA/SD/ if east coast then Boston is pushing it b/c of the climate... hrrmmm outside of u.s. Barcelona/Sydney/Rio/Valencia/Lisbon/Cape Town/Melbourne...Basically any coastal/mediterranean bigger dense city.
I feel like Boston and San Francisco are similar in many ways. Hilly, dense, wealthy, highly educated population, bigtime tech players, financial services powers, beautiful rowhomes. Both skylines are filled with plenty of brown boxes. Even their locations are relatively similar...both on the ocean with their second-city across an inland body of water (Cambridge across the Charles; Oakland across the Bay).
I feel that Boston and Philadelphia are very similar too. Sort of like brothers who took different paths in life. Visually you can see how they could be related, but they act much differently...at the core they have many similarities.

Def the best East Coast/West Coast comparison on those.

You and I are on the same level.
I live in Dallas. Of all the cities Ive been to (been to pretty much every city in the US), Atlanta reminds me of it the most. Moreso than Houston.
My hometown (LA) is probably most similar to Mexico City or Seoul.
On a local level, there really isnt a city that LA reminds me of. Im inclined to say Houston because of the sprawl and large freeways. Culturally they are nothing alike.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Really no city is like Houston. It's too unique and has no identity.
