So this thread is actually rather poignant I suppose.
So the following city level statistical areas are the only ones larger than NYC as far as population:
Los Angeles CSA
Los Angeles MSA
Chicago CSA
Chicago MSA
Washington-Baltimore CSA
Bay Area CSA
What? NYC's CSA population is nearly 25 million. Do you realize you just compared the city of New York's population with SF's CSA population? NYC has both the largest CSA and city populations in the country, based on your links, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I think he is saying those are the only MSA's or CSA's larger than New York City itself. Not the entire metro area.

That was the point.
Anyway, NYC >>>SF.
The rest of the Bay Area certainly narrows the gap but I'm not sure I take it over NYC.
Then why are entire CSAs or MSAs being compared to NYC city proper? Typical city data...
I agree. Comparing NYC to the entire Bay Area is sort of like bear-baiting, as strange as the analogy sounds. Sure the bear would win every time when it's a fair match-up, but when you pigeon-hole or chain it up and have it fight against multiple animals at one time, it becomes a misleading comparison as the bear is in a serious disadvantage from the start. That's how I feel about this thread topic when comparing only one city(NYC) against the entire Bay Area which consist of 7 different metro areas. It's just not fair.
For the New York City area, I would love to live in either Brooklyn, Queens, Hoboken, Jersey City, or White Plains.
For the Greater Bay Area, I would love to live in either Oakland or Sacramento. I also probably wouldn't mind living in San Jose or Monterey.
Overall, while I wouldn't mind living in the NYC area, I'm hoping that by the time I'm nearing 30, I will be living out in Cali (most especially NorCal). So, I voted for the Bay Area and surrounding areas.
Is Sacramento considered part of the Bay Area? Never knew that, interesting...

A lot of the Hudson River towns are beautiful. Long Island can be beautiful in terms of architecture and scenery, but I don't seem to jive too well with people from there.

I didnt create this thread nor did I decide on it's parameters, sweetie.
As usual, you fly off the handle for nothng, but what else is new? This thread, that I didnt create btw, is specifically comparing NYC vs the entire bay area.
Why the OP would severely handicap NYC that way is beyond me.
Even worse for NYC, he's comparing quality of life no less.
LOL the Bay takes NYC to the cleaners. Period.
