Seriously dude...a larger version of Idaho Falls? That is the most ridiculous thing I have seen on City-Data ever. I can't begin to tell you how wrong that is, but if you believe it, good for you. Idaho Falls is a small version of almost everywhere.
I have a feeling he is being sarcastic, but that's just me
Sarcasm on this site can be misunderstood easily. But if that is the case, then so be it. (I guess his offering of SF as being a mini-Manhatten should have tipped me off!)

Well, this Atlantan considers Downtown Seattle to be one of the nicest, most well rounded in the Country. It's in my top five.
Downtown Seattle is like a larger version of Downtown Idaho Falls
Before I recognized this was sarcasm, I was about to say this was the only thing I'd heard that was crazier than the poster who said Seattle beats SF for food.
I tend to agree that SF food is better than Seattle. However, the poster was also calculating cost, which is a valid point. As I posted earlier, the best Asian food, and best Italian food in my lifetime occurred in SF.
A "city" is only a government entity or specific set of boundaries under one definition. If I'm referring to that I specify it. Generally by "city" I mean what's on the ground. By an number of subjective or standardized definitions, SF is twice Seattle's size.
I really don't agree with the idea that city proper doesn't matter. In the case of NYC and other cities I've seen, there's an immediate change in vibe once you leave city limits.

New York?! Staten Island feels like less a part of the NYC area than a big chunk of New Jersey. That's just an example.
Few cities have any visible difference on one side of the line vs. another. Certainly none of the cities I know.
Calisonn and The topper are probably the same person trying to troll everyone on here.
I've spent significant time in both cities. Both cities are very, very similar with SF being bigger, denser, and dirtier.
I prefer Seattle but I have love for SF too.
I think you are spot on with all points. Rep'd you on this one!
