How do they dare to compare that stinking hole called Brooklyn
to beautiful and sophisticated San Francisco?!

Lulz. Welp, too bad Brooklyn is apart of New York City. Your opinion is invalid. . . no it's not invalid it's just your little opinion, sorry. Do you mind sending me an Oakland postcard sometime? ::snickers::

I was going to post links to articles about Brooklyn/reputable publications but it's all tiring. Brooklyn will never be a separate city, so in short, you lose. Brooklyn is in a renaissance at the moment. The possibilities for this borough are endless.

The "We're Near Manhattan" gets played again! Gotta love it.

No point in speaking truth to the foolish, so good night.

The "truth" is that you'd be kicking and screaming if anybody ever insinuated that LA is better than Brooklyn because it's larger. We've seen you do exactly this in other threads.

The population of a city does not dictate how scenic, educated, cultured, etc. it is... using that logic, Phoenix should always be in the discussion of the top 5 cities in America.

What Brooklyn does have over SF is urbanity, transportation and size... SF, however, has more than its own fair share over Brooklyn - scenery, parks and the arts among other things - and there's a whole lot more in-between the two that is not anywhere near as black and white as you want this discussion to be.

You are the definition of a rabid homer. And the sad part is that you're not even from Brooklyn or NYC for that matter... you're from Philadelphia.

Too bad the rest of NYC does not factor into this discussion per the premise of the thread. If you want to discuss NYC vs. San Francisco, go to the Northeast vs. CA thread and do that.

And what are you snickering about? You can pretend that there are no hellish neighborhoods in Brooklyn, but everybody and their mother would know you're just pretending.

And here's that post-card of Oakland you asked for, brought to you by yours truly:

That's ridiculous. Prove your (false) assertion.

FWIW, SF is roughly the same population as Baltimore, Brooklyn = (roughly) Chicago and L.A. = (roughly) Chicago + Baltimore

SF can and does punch above its weight but lets be real, it's out of its league compared to Brooklyn.

Its hilarious considering the terrible reputations places like Brooklyn and Philadephia have that they would try to put down Oakland just because they are losing a debate about SF.

Los Angeles wins by matter of size and quality in that debate-no contest.
