If only someone had done something about the Irish infestation about 150 or so years ago... Plenty of people certainly wanted to.
i'm scotch-irish, english, and irish and i'm protestant by the way. the irish and british are "related." what happened 150 years ago is something that was pointless ignorant religious bickering between their own flesh and blood.

Oh, I don't doubt that there is a lot of scotch in your blood.

I've never been too much of a fan of San Francisco itself and it has nothing to do with politics for me. I just hate the city for other reasons, its the only city I hate too even though I don't bash cities or anything I do have my dislike for it. I wont ever bash it but yeah, its just the worst place I've ever been too, I do respect it enough to give it the credit it deserves in what it's good at. But that's about it.
However with that said though, I do like San Jose quite a good deal and I think Oakland is a pretty sweet place too but I haven't gotten to know it better yet. I also enjoy the Bay Area smaller cities of Palo Alto, Stanford, Mountain View, Los Altos too those are pretty damn cool places.
But I prefer the DMV more myself, Washington DC is a great place and DMV just suits my needs and what I like more so, one of my favorite places in the country and also where I am a resident now in Northern Virginia.
Except San Jose is richer and more diverse than every single NE city.
That's actually incorrect.
Median Household Income, 2005-2009
Huntington, NY $106,221
San Jose City, California $78,660
Median Family Income, 2005-2009
Huntington, NY $126,638
San Jose City, California $87,556
Huntington is a city. Huntington will overtake Rochester, NY this year and is about the same size as Scottsdale, AZ or Jersey City, NJ. And it really doesn't matter if San Jose is 3-4X larger than Huntington. New York City is 3X larger than Chicago and they're very often compared. New York City is 4X larger than Paris, and they're compared. New York City is 8-9X larger than San Francisco and many delusional San Franciscans think they're comparable. Boston is compared to New York. New York is compared to DC. Seattle is compared to Los Angeles.
And San Jose, more diverse than any NE city? San Jose is more diverse than New York City now? Hopefully you mean't above average median income/diversity combo, not diversity alone. If so, then yes, San Jose probably wins that battle.

Some actually prefer DC's four seasons. Shocker, right?

San Jose takes innovation to a plateau they are trying to copy.
Yes, but statistically nearly everyone who moves to either city has no chance in hell of becoming a software mogul. That's all irrelevant.
The average person is much better off in Washington anyway due to Washington's lower cost of living.
