In fact, why is St. Louis even on this list at all? Or New Orleans for that matter? Those are 2 of the LEAST pretentious/snooty cities in the nation.

Seattle is extremely snobby. It's lost a lot of its old soul within the past decade and a newer culture is emerging. A very snobby culture. There are lots of pros too of course but still very snobby.

That's mainly the transplants. And I'm a transplant (though not the variety you're referring to). The natives, for the most part, are very indifferent in their attitudes towards other cities/states/regions, and very genuinely friendly and easygoing in my experience.

How are San Franciscans snobby? I'm there all the time and they look too...I don't know...rough around the edges and unkempt...to be "snobby". To be snobby = you think you're better than people and constantly look down which is not San Francisco. San Francisco is not like central Paris or Manhattan with that huge element of wannabe celebrities/vip, fashionable, self-important, dressed in labels and hold their noses in the air and think they're God's gift to earth.

San Francisco is smug...something totally different.

SF, NYC, and LA.

Seattle is also incredibly snobby as well, but not on the megalomaniac level of the above three cities.

I'm sure this thread will turn out to be a respectable debate that won't degrade into a flame war (sarcasm)

I was about to ask the same thing.

Apparently someone really didn't like it when a native asked them what high school they went to.

Old money: Boston
New money: Dallas

Each has a different type of snobbiness.

You mean the homeless? I thought SF was full of rich yuppies. Being the most expensive major city in the nation I'm sure there are plenty of snobs...
