I don't get whats so difficult for people on this forum to understand - shocker if you're not a "walkable" city you're not viewed as International and Cosmopolitan.
Let's see the facts:
Race related crimes is substantially higher in Northern California. Hell the whole reason its become known for protests is for the fact they have so much to protest against! Today's news: 6 dead out of religious discrimination in Oakland..
Northern California has less international tourists, less international flights, less shipping and less cruise lines
GDP of San Francisco is 325...
GDP of Dallas is 374 and the GDP of Houston is another 384. Reports show Houston has surpassed NYC and LA as the most diverse city.... San Francisco isn't even mentioned.
Good for you, San Francisco is walkable and pretty and has nice weather and full of democrats.... unfortunately for you the real world doesn't give a ****.
Please show a source for this I'm dying to know what elementary school project you got this asenine statement from? Did you also go through the TX education system? Let me guess you probably also think the battle of San Jancinto was more important than WW2 and the revolutionary war right?
Here are the only MSAs where whites I could find that do not have a Non-Hispanic White majority, nor is any other race the majority.
Northern California
San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA 42.4% Non Hispanic White
Vallejo-Fairfield, CA 40.8% Non Hispanic White
Stockton, CA 35.9% Non Hispanic White
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA 35.3% Non Hispanic White
Florida
Miami-Ft Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL 34.8% Non Hispanic White
Texas
Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX 39.7% Non Hispanic White
It doesnt look like the Bay Area was included in this Houston-based report.
Also, based on deciannual trends, the San Francisco, San Jose, Houston and Dallas MSAs all appear to be diversifying while the Miami MSA is well on its way to having a hispanic majority in this decade, which is not bad in the least, but it means less diversity overall.
If you had said Southern Florida, that would definitely win, but by including all of Florida, a large part of which is the opposite of cosmopolitan. Miami, however, is more cosmopolitan and international than anything in northern California or Texas.

I look for DFW to join this list in the next couple years if it isn't there already. In fact, the Dallas-Plano-Irving division is already there.

And why is that? Because it has a large albeit diverse Hispanic population? Northern California (especially) and Houston (and Dallas for that matter) have a very large and diverse Asian population. Something that is missing in Miami.
