Ok, so youre saying the guy who blatantly lied about Philly and Baltimore being the same distance as SJ to SF made a "good point"?
No one is making any huff about anything. Its common knowledge, SF, Oakland, and San Jose are all part of the "Bay Area"--a relatively dense and cohesive urban area of development around the San Francisco Bay. How hard is that to understand and accept?

Pennsylvania vs. California might have been a better poll,because I dub Pennsylvania as one of the most beautiful States in the country,California also just more along the coastline.
See what they have down for San Francisco metro population? 7.3 million...
Not to mention wikipedia, most travel guides, etc, etc...
It is common knowledge and absurd to dispute.
Emporis is not the census bureau....check out the State and Metropolitan Area Data Book ...I'll find the link. I think your figure is the urbanized, combined area population. I think second guessing the Census Bureau is ludicrous and anarchistic.

San Francisco has gorgeous bay views and hilly terrain. The city has about 800,000 people and a metroploitan area of about 4.3 million.It's economy(GDP) ranks 15th in the world. It has Golden Gate Park and those stunning Bridges. It is our about our densest city with great weather and various ethnic groups. The skyline is pretty nice also. see... File:FinancialNorth.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ....and.... File:SF From Marin Highlands3.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also San Francisco is more liberal and I could only find these pictures. Feel free to post better pictures.
Philadelphia has a river running through it and complete ocean access..it also is still a vital manufacturing center. The city has about 1,400,000 people and a metropolitan area around 5.8 million people. It's economy(GDP) ranks 9th in the world. It has many pocket parks downtown and Fairmount Park...one of the nation's largest.(city parks) It too is a dense city, but not as dense as San Francisco. I has a tolerable 4 season climate, which many people prefer. It too has many ethnic groups and a good skyline. The city's center is a great asset and is essentially a more manageable Manhattan; one can walk center city easily.
I love both cities and I grew up in Pennsylvania; so I am a bit biased. I would call it a draw but center city Philadelphia is wonderful; so, by a hair I vote for Philadelphia.
To "nowstale"...I bet you STILL pull the wings off of flies for amusement!
