Can you name these "numerous places", please?
Transit oriented suburban cores with downtown department stores in highrise office towers, and extensive prewar, rail-oriented fabric and rail-oriented commuting patterns. Where are all these alleged places?
In Chicago, Evanston is the only candidate, but I'm not even counting the "Evanstons" (ie extensions of city proper, like Jersey City and Yonkers). I'm talking about satellite cities.
In LA, I don't think there's even one such place. Maybe Long Beach, kinda, but it's more like an Evanston (an extension of LA).
In DC, there are plenty of suburban nodes, but they're postwar urban islands in sprawl. There's no prewar fabric.
