I registered just to post - how are we snobby? Most people in SF are middle-class normal people. Asians, immigrants. Cities are NOT snobby because cities are large and diverse. If you mean cities with MOST snobby people then it's LA, NY, Chicago, blah...ranked by population. There are many snooty *suburbs* [and I think NYC or Boston burbs would win that..sorry] but San Francisco is not snobby.
Stupid generalizations make me sick!!
Welcome to City Data. This shall be the last positive comment you read
Depends upon your definiton of "snob". Old money blue blood is likely parts of NYC and even places like Charleston. Newer money- Scottsdale AZ, Dallas. Self satisfied demeaning pseudo intellectuals that look down on most of the country? SF and Seattle. And there are tons of great people in each, but some are just insufferable!
It's perplexing how NYC gets a pass with everything. Everyone is scared to attack it. Some of the snootiest, arrogant, provincial people in the world live there.
How did that famous New Yorker's map of the world go again? Go to any trendy bar in Manhattan and the arrogance in the air is palpable. Just read "Rich Kids of Instagram" and the highest % of those douches live in NYC.
NYC and SF should definitely be winning. Glad to see few voted for LA (and didn't confuse Hollywood for the whole city). The Texas cities are seen as snooty, but the people are just prideful.

I would disagree. I have lived in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and Washington. Washington "looks" like the clear frontrunner in the snob contest there doesn't it? In my experience, it's not.
I would say San Antonio, El Paso, and the Metroplex are pretty down to Earth. Dallas' reputation precedes it as an elitist snob empire but I don't think that's the case. Austin on the other hand is widely accredited to it's "Austitude" which definitely exists. You know, hipster city, hipster (delusional) viewpoints.
The worst offender is Houston, in the aforementioned four cities. The city is rapidly becoming self-absorbed and elitist. It's becoming a haven for the snobs. Materialistic and also very rude. It's far surpassed Dallas on that front nowadays and it's starting to distance itself too.
Washington is a snob haven too, although I'd probably say Houston's surpassing it as we speak. This is generally what happens when a thriving and rich industry goes on an expansion like this, you build a level of over confidence in the people there, and they react in this manner.
All being generalizations however.
