Sorry, I know that makes it sound like I'm in favor of SF, but I'm not. NYC really is absolutely amazing, I just did not want this thread to turn into a size comparison when that's exactly what I did not want it to be. Thanks for all the posts and various opinions.. You all have good points and ideas.

Yep, both have amazing options that are totally different. NY regardless of size doesn't "win" in all categories or for all people. Heck I have some Italian and Greek friends here from New York who much prefer Dallas to NYC. Blasphemous I know....

Like any other vs. thread on CD, no matter what, it will degenerate and go waaaay beyond your intended scope

One of the biggest myths on c-d is that SF is a mini-NYC. Demographically and socio-economically speaking, NYC is quite frankly not prosperous enough to be a mega version of SF.

And the biggest irony of this particular debate is that as far as as median income levels and even racial breakdown, NYC is actually much closer.....to Oakland.

LMAO.

Keep telling yourself that if makes you feel better but you would be delusional if you think articles like that doesn't exist for San Francisco or any other popular city out there.

Please forward your accusations to the Huffington Post, which is one of the most widely read news outlets in the world.

Unlike the SFBay Guardian which is a free rag thats about as hard hitting as yelp, and I use to wrap crystal that I store in the attic. You can also refer to SFBG if you need a 'massage'

lol

Oh how did I just know that was going to be your response lol. So I came prepared this time you see. I held off on posting this the last time just for this occasion. Here is that same article from your beloved Huffington Post:

San Francisco Police Department Falsified Racial Statistics For Arrests, Report Finds


It's always a pleasure making you look foolish in front of people.

It's hilarious how dusturbing the assumed pecking order with painful doses of reality just upsets people quite deeply. Hence the barrage of personal attack comments. What else is new?

And the OP just said it, this isnt about size or your precious tiers or your (bizarre) exclusive club of 2 cities---lol
