That means I didn't cherry-pick enough then
(I just selected areas that I recalled I found surprisingly similar, and put the street view in them.)
The argument "someone who knows the city by heart will immediately be able to tell this view is City X and not City Y" does not invalidate at all City X looking like City Y.
And also, while I was exploring "the CBD" of LA (finding it surprisingly sterile for a city that size), my main focus wasn't how the mountains in the distance allow to distinguish the Sunbelt-Style Office Towers built form from Houston's... hope that's understandable? I generally find architecture to be more interesting and less interchangeable than distant mountains.
