I agree on that - I can instantly tell if an outdoor scene of a TV show or movie that takes place somewhere else was shot in LA. It has a strange, glossy orderliness that doesn't exist in places with more organic energy. But it's never been very intrepid in exploring that about itself - it just happens by default. The fervid murals you're probably referring to in talking about "ugly beauty" seem like a contrasting reaction to that orderliness.
