They do! Though one could argue that Seattle is (and has been) moving in the direction of SF/SV in terms of cultural homogeneity, while my brother-in-law has been living in PDX for a while now and says that he loves it but complains about the strong level of "group-think". I can't speak to NYC or Miami as I've only visited twice and once, respectively, though I love how diverse the culture of NYC is. Edit: That's not to say that they're anywhere near as homogeneous as SF/SV have become, though. I just think it's worth mentioning as it relates to the broader topic.
