Silicon Valley may not have a downtown as great as SF but yeah, it's not bad either.
Downtown SF great? It's a ghost town poopville at nights. It's filthy, sterile, boring and just mainly offices/shopping at Union Sq. with some decent places like Buena Garden area parks with museums. Mid Market/Tenderloin and 6th street are very blighted and crime ridden.

Tenderloin's not Downtown SF. Can you honestly say that Midtown or Lower Manhattan are any cleaner than Downtown SF? Yet Manhattan's celebrated and gets none of the criticism Downtown SF gets.

Looked through Sac real estate prices today. If Sac isn’t underrated, I don’t know what is. You’ll hear Austin TX called out a lot more, but a house costs kinda uncomfortably similar in the two metros. I’d rather tender the currency in Sac than Austin.

Manhattan is 1000× cleaner than SF, and Manhattan leaves their garbage out on the sidewalk!

Not true, I was in the Pacific Heights(SF) walked all the way to Chinatown(SF), and then walked to the East Cut(SF), I saw only 2 homeless people, streets were clean, no poop, no urine.

Pacific Heights(SF), is 1000 X cleaner than Manhattan's upper West Side and Greenwich Village.

San Jose is the most underrated. It's the best large city to live in CA at the moment. Sacramento is pretty underrated as well. a Overrated: San Francisco (too disgusting/overpriced) and San Diego (overpriced with poor paying jobs and boring).

Yea, and then you woke up from your fantasy. There actual poop apps, for SF. The city had to hire a task force, just to go around and hose off the poo on the sidewalk.

That's really splitting hairs since the Tenderloin borders Market Street and Union Square.

Agreed. San Diego's economy runs on tourism, the military, and a little biotech. But corn-ball transplants from back east love the beaches and think it is the greatest thinf since sliced bread.

It's terribly lame. It has all the high prices of Coastal SoCal, with few of the amenities of LA, or higher income jobs in OC.
