SF by far. Thus shouldnt be close. Too much east coast bias on citydata
Yes it should... Both are large thriving urban cities with nice metro areas. You can have a preference, but give the bias feelings a rest. I prefer Philadelphia, but I'm not denying that San Fran is a great city.
The big difference here is that for SF to be competitive in this you have to scour the entire metro to compete with the city of Philadelphia. Philadelphia should probably have won this.

Agree, but I am still nervous. Philadelphia is easily poised to become an "it" city of the 2020s, it was obvious in 2018 and 2019 with the growth, development, reduction in poverty, increase in jobs, retaining grads, etc., but of course Covid + social unrest + crappy leadership + an overwhelmed / disorganized police force may lead to roadblocks along the way.
SF suffers from these problems too, possibly even worse in many circumstances.
But the stars were aligning for Philadelphia, I just hope that doesn't change as we move into 2021 and beyond.
