But the name of the Californian city really <i>is</i> Venice (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Venice,_Los_Angeles" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Venice,_Los_Angeles</a>), which I guess makes it kind of awkward to compare it to Amsterdam. Not sure if the article was a &quot;comparison&quot; at all, though, it read more like a history piece.
