Yawns and Nope. Bubble bursting time. New York is largely working class compared to SF. There's nothing wrong with that btw, but it's true.

You contradict yourself. If there's nothing wrong with working class, no point in bringing it up... yawn.

The point is to tear down your argument. Mission accomplished.

How so? You bring up working class, insinuating as if its a bad thing, then promptly agree that it's not. You didn't tear down a thing.

Just admit it, NYC is the one city in the country that unequivocally hands San Francisco...my bad, The Bay Area, its lunch. No debate, check the poll

I gotta hand it to you, that's a deep love of SF. Holy smokes.

I'm interested. Why would you rate SF (and presumably the Bay) over, say Milan? Is it purely economic?

Apples vs Oranges. Mercedes SLR vs Minicooper.
Yeah, SLR's are wayyy out of NYCs range.

Here's what I said in another thread. Applies here as well.

You can add as many pluses(++++++) to
your middle class Alpha City as you like
darling, to me it's **always** been about
being richer, better educated, being more
racially diverse, having a more robust
economy, having a superior climate and
unquestionably better natural setting and
the Bay Area is all of that compared to
London.

AFTER ALL OF THAT, throw in The City. San
Francisco itself, with its postcard perfect
views at every turn, with it's vibrant city
center, with it's world class amenities,
iconic streetscapes, wonderful
neighborhoods, and booming development,
and what one finds when combining all
these factors is a region that is just about
unparalleled.

haha@"check the poll"

You need a reality check if you think poll results are more accurate than statistics that prove which city's residents are healthier, wealthier, better educated and have a higher quality of life overall.
