They're just popular draws that most metros don't have. It takes more people away from la or downtown etc. And when you add in employment centers like Irvine, it's just more shit. You can say other cities have something similar, and it's kinda true but it kind of isn't.
What in Chicago or dc draws people to their suburbs? Not much. Tysons? Reston? Malls?
To me, this more the norm for other cities than la's stuff.

Well the entire CA coast is an attraction, so if we're talking about tourist attractions and such, too, then San Diego and SF have similar situations as LA. I don't know about Chicago, but in DC, there are several draws in the burbs. Old Town Alexandria, best shopping in the region (Tysons), National Harbor, Air and Space museum out in Chantilly, the Pentagon and Arlington Cemetery, University of Maryland up in College Park, Skins stadium in Landover, Wolf Trap amphitheater, Great Falls...
