SF is a west coast city like LA, but its dense layout and surrounding areas also resemble Manhattan? What do you think?

It seems more like LA from what I've seen. It's walkable like Manhattan, but that's all I can think of. SF has that West-coast Cali look that distinguishes it from ANYWHERE on the East-coast to me at least.

It's twin is actually Boston. To some degree Seattle. Those three would be like triplets.

When I was there, it felt nothing like Los Angeles architectually, and even the culture was a bit different, IMHO.

I would say it's more like Manhattan than Los Angeles.

I like Los Angeles more than both Manhattan & San Francisco (combined).

Nice thread Fashionguy.

I voted LA.

The two have similar climates, and San Francisco is nowhere near as dense as Manhattan.

I also agree with OmShahi about the similarity with Boston and Seattle. They are very similar in density and personality.

It's an East Coast looking city with a West Coast vibe.

I agree it's more like Boston, but I would say the comparison with LA and Manhattan is more interesting as it is harder to say which one SF is like more, if you know what I mean. I also like LA best.

Neither. San Francisco is not an important world city. Don't mention it in the same topic as those other two cities.

Much like San Francisco is predictable. Predictably boring.
