I agree. Perhaps the completely different format and content of City of Angels is due mainly to it not being a GDW product, but simply authorised by them? The general ideas are ok, but like you I feel there's no usable depth.
However, given the apparent lack of useful resources in the area (such as water), I'm happy to simply ignore it and focus on other regions with more roleplaying potential. If I really need some info then I'll probably refer to the book for a little cosmetic detail and work out the foundations later if necessary.
