No there are definitely spots, such as this one:

And when you go deep into some neighborhoods, there are some similarities like this:

But LA of course doesn't have areas like this either:

And Houston doesn't have the dense urban areas that LA has like Hollywood or Mid-City, or West LA.
In my opinion, there are certain streets or blocks that can resemble LA. Overall, the LA Basin looks a lot different than most of Houston, but outside of that I can see the similarities a few parts of Houston. For me, it was mostly about the relaxed/laid-back vibe of each city that were similar.
