I have always found that puzzling, perhaps I'm the only person who can tell what is Los Angeles city and what's not. Even though much of the San Fernando Valley is suburban, it still has a look and feel that is definitely the city to me. The SFV looks and feels way different than even Burbank, and Glendale, which are separate cities in the SFV.
I just can't quite explain it, but LA city neighborhoods feels much busier and chaotic to me. I used to live in downtown Long Beach, and much of the surrounding neighborhoods were pretty dense and very walkable, plus with the waterfront nearby it was always something going on. Today I now live in Woodland Hills which is part of LA city in the SFV. Most will describe it as suburban, and I live in the section of the neighborhood that is known as the Warner Center which is sort of a downtown or business district. Yet it feels very LA in culture and look, and it definitely feels much more bustling than anything I felt in Long Beach, or any other city I live in around Southern California. To an outsider I can understand how some can make this mistake, but to a seasoned Angelino, no way. LA city is just so different in look and feel.
