No city is like LA. Florida is too flat and humid. Nothing else, especially on the east coast resembles it in any way. I don't get the Queens thing. Queens is nothing like LA. LA is like no other city in the United States.
I agree with this. A suburb like Wheaton, Maryland could be plonked down somewhere in greater LA and no one would notice the difference.
Also, Washington D.C itself being a low-rise city bears a resemblance with LA in that way too since LA is mostly miles and miles of low-rise development.
Still, Miami is more like LA in feel than D.C. I don't know if anyone was around the last time LA got a foot of snow.
Each year the weather in the wintertime is getting closer and closer to LA weather too.
Hands down, northern New Jersey or its mirror image (as someone mentioned again) Queens / Nassau.
Englewood, Hackensack, Tenafly, Bergenfield, Ridgefield Park, Teaneck, Queens or any of those northern NJ/Ny areas in no way shape, form, look, feel, resemble, remind you of, smell like, seem like Los Angeles. Wheaton Maryland? You have to be joking.
It's not on the east coast, but Chicago away from both the loop and the lake reminds me of LA with its long and relatively wide boulevards, set-back housing (that's nevertheless not quite suburban), presence of small ground-level parking lots, former industrial areas getting converted to lofts, and its extensive bus network.
Parts of Queens and western Nassau County have some similarities in layout, and a high Asian / hispanic population. Of course, there are more differences than similarities.
1. Miami-obvious
2. DC-low rise and sprawl
3. Virginia Beach Area
4. Boston-CITY PROPER, beach, 2AM closing time, relaxed vibe, day city, some beautiful scenery/views
I still say Miami. Not saying they are THAT similar, but if it's the only other city that I think is somewhat similar to LA on the East Coast.
