As a person whose lived all over America, I will say SF isn't a better city than Philly but The Bay is better than Philly's MSA. Philadelphia TRUMPS Boston in mostly every category due to it being like a bigger Boston. Boston is a good city but Boston's good is going up against Philly's great, and that's what makes Philly a better city than Boston. I also respect others opinions if you don't agree, but I'm sure the average american would prefer to live in Philly over boston.

Yes and Detroits Better than Boston too because it is larger, lol.
Bigger=/=better
Boston Beats Philly (without a question) in
Education
Medical care
GDP per capitia
age
natural beauty
Seems you have a mental block, I said I think its better due to it being like a "Bigger Boston".
Education - yea boston beats it Medical Care - Hell no GDP - Philly is 5th in the nation with $388 billion even though that doesn't make it a better city. This is america, if 1 fails we all fail. Like I said in the other thread no one moves to a city because it has "A bigger gdp"..
Age - Huh??????? That make no sense because there both about the same age.
Natural Beauty - sure but Philly has better looking surroundings from the Beaches, poconos, amish county, and ect.
Like I said, I'm sure the average american would prefer to live in Philly than Boston.
LOL Boston arguably has the best Medical care in the World.
Do you know what per capitia means?
lol. How do you know, do you spend a lot of time checking out hospitals, or are you going to try and convince us that a list from USA Today is so definitive it merits you spelling out 'period'. Baltimore and Philly both have medical schools/facilities that match/beat Boston's.

Your sense of knowledge matches your username. Baltimore has Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland Medical Center. Philly has the U-Penn system which includes the oldest hospitals in the country. Boston has Massachusettes General with Harvard Medical, which is of course a top research institution as well.
BMore and Philly certainly "match" Boston in the health care facility department, if not surpassing it.
I'm confused...why is two world class cities being compared to the Bay Area?
Agree, unfair comparison unless the OP was comparing metros.
