Oh, wait! it was This thread ! XD

And, seriously, why would Zelena want a town that LOOKS like Storybrooke? I am of the opinion that that particular line was in reference to something else.

And I seem to recall that A & E hinted that it would be revealed fairly early on about why the UW resembles SB, so Gold's "All your questions are pointless!" comment is not the answer. I think it will be answered. I just think they thought about giving explanation AFTER they wrote this episode, probably when they saw that fans question it on twitter.
