What city is the most desirable SF or Philly? (place, raise, economy)

[Slicky Ricky]

If money was no object which city is more desirable to you? Desirable cities COL, character, highend restaurant, worldclass getaways, economy, etc

[RightonWalnut]

More desirable to me? Philadelphia. It is where I was born and raised and where most of my friends and family are.

For the majority I feel they would pick San Francisco though.

This premise is setting Philly up to fail because in 2014 San Fran's strengths heavily outweigh Philly's strengths in terms of Economy, worldclass getaways, and highend restaurants. Not that Philly doesn't have these things but it just is a completely different kind of place. If Money truly is no object. I would probably own a place in Rittenhouse with a nice balcony, and also an old Victorian in Pacific Heights.

Both definitely have their perks! Philadelphia is very well-located for proximity to huge cities, while SF has mild winters.

To me, Philly easily. To slight majority, SF

And we're off . . .

I want to relocate to an art/artsy community, primarily in the Bay Area near SF. I need some feedback on reasonable areas in that region. Thanks

[bballniket]

I'd check out some sections of Oakland and Berkeley.

My primary home would be in a beautiful spacious townhome in Rittenhouse Square while maintaining a second home in one of those tony apartments in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood or either a walk-up Edwardian or a Victorian home in Hayes Valley.

If Ebola killed everyone in it, I would pick San Francisco.

If that was not the case and I would have to share it with all the weirdos that live there, I would pick Philly. Go Liberty Bell!
