Rather than a single city with suburbs like New York or Chicago or Los Angeles, it is a single metropolitan region with no clear urban center, or perhaps with three: San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose.

I have a feeling that this area would be more open to Alizée's music than a lot of places in the U.S., because it is so culturally diverse and politically progressive.

I'd have to say I agree. I've been to San Francisco twice in my life and it seems very diverse, as Deep said. They have a Chinatown, how cool is that?
