No actually NYC is much richer than SF, but you knew that. NYC has more wealth than any other metro on earth. SF is probably Top 5 in the U.S. in terms of wealth.
I have never heard anyone say "Manhattan is NYC by itself". What does that even mean? People think that NYC lacks residential neighborhoods?
i hear that from people who only seen nyc in the movies. outside of manhattan (perhaps now brooklyn) many people (not most) are ignorant that manhattan, harlam, queens, brooklyn, the bronx, ... make up the city of new york (not just the state of new york).

i call different districts within a city cities themselves sometimes. what adds to that confusion is someones postal address (mite say city/state) and i will refer the district as the city (it usually gets delivered).
some cities are partitioned into districts/wards/burroughs/communities/... (its just easier to say what city do you live in instead of thinking about how to redefine my words based on where i am -- most people pick it up from context).

I said that the real Nyc is Manhattan and my Fam back east tells me that people in other boroughs refer to Manhattan as visiting the city like they're living in a different town or something....
By government laws it is one city but each borough is very different, Facts still remain it's a city of 5 counties, Do you know how big a county is in California ? Orange county would be like the Bronx or something...So it's just a different system Back East & no need to get upset at Facts lol
maybe its a race thing. i've heard people say things like jerry seinfeld lives in new york city, and spike lee lives in brooklyn, nas is from queens,...

Lol Nola once you leave Manhattan, Fairfield co. CT, E.LI, or West Chester NY, your in the ghetto projects Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, SI, JC, Newark, etc
SF and peninsula are uber sophisticated vs NYCs outer boroughs and burbs. Bay area burbs in Northbay, Eastbay, Southbay, Santa Cruz are richer and better than NYC outer boroughs and burbs. But you knew that Nola.

Harlem is part of Manhattan. Not sure what the rest of this means. The city and state have the same name; has nothing to do with postal issues or anything (mail is delivered by zips not city or state names).

Given every post I've seen from you on C-D is laughably wrong, I will take this post in stride.
I'll be sure to let you know as soon as you post something on C-D that approaches reality.

Bay area burbs in Northbay, Eastbay, Southbay, and Santa Cruz are richer and more sophisticated than the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Newark, JC, NNJ, White Plains, etc. They are much more expensive and desirable for their weather, incomes, and desirable housing market. SF and the peninsula area San Mateo co. are as rich as Manhattan, West Chester co NY, and Fairfield co CT. Can't refute my claims because you know you're wrong.

Yeah actually they do. Alot of people think that island is just NYC by itself. When people think about NYC all most think about is a bunch of high rises and alot of people. I don't see what's so hard to believe about it honestly, the borough system is so unique in America that most don't really understand NYC unless it's explained to them. You can often find postal address with "Brooklyn, NY" or "Queens, NY" instead of "New York, NY", making you think it's an outskirt and not part of the city. Now I'm hearing that their even in different counties? I sure as hell can't put University District, MI or Springwells, MI on a postal address instead of saying "Detroit, MI". NYC can be a pretty complicated city to understand to an outsider but it's part of what makes the place so unique.
^ need to spread the love before i can rep you again.

i would assume most peole would address:
new york city, ny (as opposed to manhattan, ny)
and
brooklyn, new york (as opposed to new york city, ny)
similar to:
boston, ma (as opposed to back bay, ma)
and
dorchester, ma (as opposed to boston, ma)
...
what other cities have a large disconnection between downtown and residential in the minds of people ?

I agree with you that NYC is much richer than SF, but richest metro on Earth? That actually goes to Tokyo; NYC is second.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate_city. Note-NYC does not qualify in terms of politics. Media?-LA is the center of the movie/television industry. As for educational institutions-definitely not.
