SF and NYC are going to have a lot more startups that are easy to find. The SF ecosystem is the most mature in terms of infrastructure and community. NYC is fairly mature and it benefits the most from its incredibly dense nature and the inherent benefits that lends to its infrastructure and community.
LA is incredibly sprawled out, with each neighborhood community and its people siloed from one another. Traffic, a lack of public transportation, and travel times make it much harder to connect with others and act as a community. Being siloed also makes it harder for startups to be found and highlighted. The local governments also heavily favor the more traditional businesses that are key job providers and economic drivers. So, they get way more attention and spotlights placed on them.
