In conclution some parts may look the same but the feel and actual look is very different... atleast IMO  |
The view in that pic looks a lot like DC's Tidal Basin from the Jefferson Memorial.
Of course they are not twins and there are also big differences, but actually I think a lot of the residential architecture and neighborhood streetscapes are quite similar as well.
