They are both urban in their own ways, which are quite different. That was not one of your original post questions.

Why? It's great to have some green in the grey.

Having more trees--is a negative.

Seattle/Denver/Minneapolis/San Diego 3-4+ mil metros

Three Things:

1. DMV is only 5 million ( Baltimore is NOT part of the DMV area..Thats only the DC area)

2. You're comparing a MSA (ATL) to a CSA (SF)

3. They actually are on the same tier

Tier 1. NYC, LA, Chicago
Tier 2. ATL, Philly, Dallas, Houston, DC, SF, Miami, Boston....
Tier 3. St. Louis, Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Seattle, New Orleans, San Diego...
Tier 4. Raleigh, Richmond, Buffalo, Hartford, Hampton Roads........

San Francisco has my vote on all counts, when compared to Atlanta.

Living in Atlanta and not having a body of water nearby would be something I could never get use to. Oppressive heat, humidity and bugs I lived in but never again.

San Francisco's downtown is one of Nortb America's best and outshines Atlanta's downtown and midtown combined. Its hills, topography and architecture make it far more beautiful and interesting imo. To see the ocean and SF Bay, smell it, walk along it, go boating, hop on a ferry are things I like to do and you simply can't do in Atlanta. It's easy to get around without a car. Public transportation is everywhere. Great food, great nightlife. Love Golden Gate Park. Live and visit, it's San Francisco for me

SF > Atlanta IMO, but trees are NOT a negative. They're kinda vital, especially in the concrete jungles like the ones you NE posters favor.

Ten Top Reasons Why Trees Are Important

What's next? Rats and bed bugs are a positive? Humorous.

As stated before.... Yes, In your opinion trees are NOT a negative. I do not want lots of trees in the city limits.

Trees are important to our country, this doesn't mean our cities have to be filled with them.

Actually, what is humerous to me is that Californians on act as if they have never been east of Las Vegas and can't fathom that other Americans have a diifferent opinion.
