Vegetation-wise, where could Sydney fit in the US? (landscape, growing, palms)

Not sure if this is the right section. But perhaps it comes close as it involves plants and landscape. My question is, based solely on vegetation, where can Sydney fit in the USA? Unfortunately, Sydney doesn't have a climate analogue in America, but would it have a vegetation analogue there? Australia's vegetation is unique as it is abundant with eucalyptus, acacia and casuarina species (which are all evergreen) - So finding a city in the world with similar vegetation may be a challenge. But there can always be a superficial resemblance. So here are some nature images of Sydney:

My guess is somewhere in the southeast like Texas and Louisiana?

Probably anywhere in the southeastern United States, especially the coastal Deep South.

California. The three species mentioned in the op all grow in many coastal places there so likely there would be several other plants too that are similar to Sydney's vegetation.

I take the southeast US back, as they have native deciduous trees growing, whereas we do not.
