> What's unique about the US west coast is that the cities there were not much older then the automobile

San Jose, LA, and San Francisco are all 100 years older than the automobile. Seattle, Sacramento, and Oakland are 50 years older. (Wikipedia says that the Seattle area has been inhabitied for 4000 years.) I didn't check any other West Coast cities.

I don't doubt that Seattle has been inhabited for 4000+ years, but I don't think the bulk of was built quite that long ago.
