Don't you mean "In The Not Too Distant Future"?
Pretty sure they were making a reference to several movies that use that phrase to describe the near future.
Wait, I thought LA sank as per "Future's End"?
They didn’t say how much
According to floodmap.net, this is what 200 m of water would look like:
From "Future's End"
JANEWAY: Have you ever been to southern California, Chakotay?
CHAKOTAY: No.
JANEWAY: After the Hermosa quake in 2047 this entire region sank under two hundred metres of water. It became one of the world's largest coral reefs, home to thousands of different marine species.
Hermosa is a beachfront community, so I am thinking that the quake resulted in coastal LA going under. The distance between Hermosa City Hall and Bank Tower is over 20 miles.

Forward Avenue Historic Site is over 20 miles from Hermosa Beach. This site is located at Bunker Hill (info from sign).
For those who don't know, this area is smack in the middle of downtown LA:

It's right around the corner from the Disney Concert Hall, which is featured in Fascist Federation LA (seen in the earlier clips and production stills).
I think Disney is at SFHQ near the horseshoe bay
Yes, it was also where Picard gave his convocation speech in episode 1.I think Disney is at SFHQ near the horseshoe bay
So, I'm a bit confused: if there was a global nuclear war (hopefully not next week...), LA would have been hit by a large number of multi-megaton warheads. That would have most likely levelled every skyscraper. But this shows many of the current buildings intact. So... was the nuclear war limited? Not city-killer missiles? This was also an issue raised in STiD....
The war was restricted to certain sections of Earth and the number of dead, 600 million, is much less lower than a total global nuclear war would lead one to believe in loss of life.
I tend to use the Doctor Who Defense whenever dealing with issues of the Eugenics Wars in Star Trek.
It happened but time travel means that it might not have happened in remotely the same way.
It is my headcanon, for example, the Enterprise NX-1 did not happen in the original timeline but was suspended under Vulcan influence but the Klingon arriving resulted in it happening thanks to the Temporal Cold War. In the original timeline, Archer is remembered primarily as a warp field specialist rather than legendary captain and diplomat. Its also why taking him into the future shouldn't have destroyed the Federation but did because already the dominos were falling from the butterfly effect.
