I’ve liked Chicago and now Boston more than SF as a city. SF is a better option than most, and I did enjoy my time there... but it’s certainly not Paris or London. NYC and Chi are really the only American cities in that class.

What he said. Take it from a guy that's been in SF for a while, with extensive international city experience...SF is NOT what people think / make it out to be. There will be no "but I'm different"...or "but those people that say that just don't get it" ...NO. For someone with pure, international temperence and experience SF is NOT the place you want to be.
SF is currently littered with Progressive POSERS from across the US. They are the people that are 10-15 years behind. Basic / Mediocrity / Passiveness / Herdists are words that come to mind. They are NOT the people with extensive life experiences, or the open minds necessary for say international travel. They are the OPPOSITE of people you'd meet on an amazing travel trip in a hostel or at a random adventure overseas. They are the opposite of people with stories and wisdom. So many people there (not actually from SF) are CLOSE MINDED SNOBS with little life experience but the ability to LARP and pass off all the quirks of being special. It's like the matrix.
Most international (actual international) cities contain a culture that is actually forward thinking, not "millennial white american 'progressive' identity" thinking. The culture of SF is sinking fast. Those with toxic personalities - aka passive aggressive and backwards thinking -- seem to be kings of the hill.
Walking on eggshells. Wrong think. Degeneracy. Mixed in with a seeming autistic "tech bro" world. It's a very very strange place now.
If you have a fervent personality, desire to discover, excitement for possibilities, love of good food, down to earth, an actual creative person with TALENT, SF is NOT the place to be. I made a HUGE mistake for going there and will never ever make that mistake again.
Go to NYC. Just my opinion.
