Parts of Pasadena are suburban, but a good chunk of it isn't. And not just old town either.
And the Valley isn't the slouch many think it is either. How many metros have a Ventura Blvd?

Agreed. As someone who was born and raised in Glendale, has an office there, works in glendale and Pasadena, there is no doubt that they have to be included.. The tri cities (Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank) + attached foothill communities, have a combined population of roughly 500,000 and an economy much larger than many metros... Each city has its own legit downtown, numerous institutions like jpl, cal tech, community colleges, museums, has major corporations (Disney, nestle, 3m, parsons, just to name a couple), and are major banking centers and have a populace that has high incomes
