Yea lol exactly what i was thinking, the sprawly one is Atlanta and the dense one is Tokyo. I really dont see any similarities in look between the two.
The bottom picture is Tokyo (the signage on the buildings).
But the answer to your question is San Francisco. I think that you misread it as San Diego.
When I look at the ATLANTA picture, I just see a void of people. Massive freeway and tons of parking lots RIGHT in the middle of downtown. There are huge overpasses through the downtow, virtually impossible for people to get from one side of the highway over to the other if walking. Atlanta looks REAL depressing to me. Like you'd be in your car parking in intimidating parking lots, and trying to get into the nearest building you see, and most likely only for work. Then drive right back out again.
TOKYO, well I know Tokyo. You can see the density and the main road in those photos look quite easy to cross at a crosswalk. Plus all around between all of those buildings you'd have countless people strolling around casually, etc., etc.
This is such a stupid thread. The cities most similar to Tokyo are Seattle, San Francisco, LA, Chicago, and NYC, but even those aren't that similar. Seattle and San Francisco are most like Tokyo.
Tokyo is one of those cities that could not be copied no matter how much money or effort is involved. Same with NYC, all of Europe, SF, and LA. Nothing is even remotely similar.
Atlanta, San Diego is too laid back.
San Diego does have a larger asian population, but Atlanta would be closer.
Atlanta is just generally more exposed then San Deigo.
Neither are like Tokyo, as said.
But that would be Atlanta hands down.

That would be Apple because the apples contains more matter and has a larger surface area like the teddy bear. A paper clip is made of pure metals as well both apples and Teddy bears are not made of metals...completely, both contain certain amounts of metal.

A cup of tea, because they both go into the digestive track of humans. What is more so 18th century enlightenment is not a concrete noun, I forget the word for the nouns that aren't concrete... but it is figurative... Both tea and grapefruit are mad from Plants as well.
So while both examples may be totally off, there is an answer...
