The only thing the Bay Area might have over the Tri-State area is more Pacific Islanders, but besides them Tri-State can match anything that the Bay Area has and then some.

Actually we know the Bay Area has a higher proportion of foreign language speakers than NY, we know that the Bay Area has a higher proportion of foreign born residents than NY, we know that the Bay Area has greater racial diversity than NY and we know that the Bay Area's diversity is also more spread out throughout the entire region than NY.
That is all substantiated by the US Census Bureau.

Its weird that your saying all this seeing as your from New York but its cool I guess your just trying to keep things even.
You 2 are new here...just noticed that. Yes Ive been living in NYC for a few months now...moved to NYC from Brazil by way of The Bay Area.(Most of the more seasoned forumers here know that Im a huge Bay Area homer-no harm intended tho)
I love living in New York-its amazing. This is the 3rd time Ive lived in NYC and it has never failed to impress me over and over again. Although I've been thinking of moving to a house over to a house in Alpine, NJ that I looked at a few days ago-been staying at my Mother-in-Law's townhouse and its cool(Mainly cause she's at home in Brazil-hahaha) but I've been feeling claustrophobic...sometimes I like grass and trees and a pool.
I would definitely say that NYC is more diverse than SF City. SF is no slouch but NYC is over 10 times as big and seems that many times as diverse too. I spend lots of time in Queens cause I have relatives there and am sooo impressed by the various areas and ethnic enclaves-very cool.
But this thread is about the entire Tri-State Area vs the SF Bay Area. And that is not the same as a mere city vs city comparison.
Like I stated earlier, NYC proper accounts for the majority of the regional foreign born, the majority of the regional asian, black and hispanic populations.
The Bay Area on the other hand is the opposite. The combined cities of SF, SJ and Oakland still have WAY LESS foreign born, asian, black and hispanic people. They are way more spread out around the Bay.
In any event, we are talking about 2 incredibly desirable regions that any fool would be lucky to call home.

Well, I think the 2 regions are overall very different from one another. It doesn't seem that many folks would prefer to live in both equally. Rather, they'd likely choose one over the other.
Montclair what do you do that allows you to live this extravagant lifestyle always living somewhere new? dude let me know i wanna be like you..can i work for you?
