Wow, that is a very good question. I might actually have to go with San Francisco. I don't know though, Chicago definitely has a lot of foot traffic too. This is one I am stuck on..

I'm a Chicagoan and spend a lot of time in Bay Area.

It's San Francisco, the density and small land area greatly help as well as the immense tourism and beautiful scenery.
Chicago is no slouch it's in the top 4 for pedestrian traffic, but San Francisco is just higher on the list.

And what is with everyones new craze for Chicago and San Francisco these days? Everyday someone makes like 12 threads for each one.

Chicago has more foot traffic then San Francisco.About 500,000-600,000 people walk the streets of Downtown Chicago.2nd only to New York.San Francisco would come in 3rd.

SF probably seems more vibrant because of how dense and compact it is.

I think this is pretty close - during the day inside the loop and on Michigan Ave Chicago is very busy but at night the SF downtown seems to maintain more activity. Not that Chicago is not very active
