I lived in LA for 3 years, in-laws are in OC. I know they aren't the same but both also subscribe to a SoCal aesthetic that is very distinguishable from that in NorCal, Boston, PacNW or any other place I have lived or visited for a great length of time.I don't know what the Twin Cities are like, but the differences between LA and Anaheim aren't really that subtle. If someone has never been and is assuming, because of proximity, that they are indistinguishable, then that's one thing. But the cities aren't interconnected, they aren't run the same way, etc.
