San Francisco a sleepy town? Sure, its not NYC, but its easily one of the most vibrant cities in the country. Anything but sleepy...I actually find the neighborhoods to be more exciting and crowded than neighborhoods in Chicago or Boston.

We do that indoors with trainers.

LOL, with all due respect, nobody cares what you covet silly. Money talks and it's no secret that no property on the Bay Area's coast has sold for even half of the highest sales around Central Park command let alone Golden Gate Park.

Yes, while still being in the epicenter of the United States (many would even say the world) as opposed to sleepy...(that's as kind as I can put it) town like San Francisco. I think it's a win-win situation, no?

Central Park is nowhere near the largest park in New York City. Go do your research.

Someone who names themselves "trustfundhipster" probably shouldn't be listened to anyways.

The last time I checked, the average price of an apartment in Manhattan trumped the average price of a single family home in the entire Bay Area. Oh, and I live in zip code 10013 which is in Manhattan and this conversation is also about the surroundings of Central Park which happens to be in Manhattan.... so i'm perplexed as to why "the Bay Area" was pulled from your bag of tricks. Intimidated much?

Ironic since on average, San Francisco is wealthier than New York, and the Bay Area is wealthier than the Greater New York Area.
Let me spell it out for you sweetheart; Millionaires in the New York City Metropolitan Area: 621,330; Millionaires in the Bay Area: 190,200; Billionaires in Manhattan: 62, Billionaires in San Francisco; 15; Billionaires in the New York City metropolitan area: 86 billionaires in the San Francisco metro: 42; Now digest this: billioniare.and.milioniare.capital.of.the.world. Ironic, isn't it?

Ahhh, New York, New York. Carry on!

And the Bay Area's median home price is higher than the NY Area. How that must hurt.

Quote:
Oh, and I live in Manhattan dear. Much more upscale than someplace ghastly like Oakland.
Oakland-another place a real hipster would prefer over Manhattan. WOW--guess this conversation must be causing you to really think about your life huh?

Okay, you don't want to talk about the other 21 Million People who live in New York? Why am I not surprised.

Wanna guess who has a higher average income between the NY and SF Areas? hint. Its not New York.

Your wrong again.

1. Average home price doesn't make it more expensive. Per sq ft.

No one cares about your apparently massive hard on for everything "upscale."

What does anything upscale have to do with a park in the first place? Parks = dirt, plants, water, animals. Nature brought to you, in the city, plus amenities like playing fields, playgrounds, and whatever else there may be. I could care less if there are $75,000,000 apartments next door to it. In my opinion, the more rough around the edges and wild the better (to an extent of course, it's still a park). I love getting that isolated feeling in golden Gate Park. But the great thing is we have many other great things in Golden Gate park, including Museums, botanical gardens, the conservatory of flowers, a herd of Bison, the list goes on. Go look it up on wikipedia, or reread the rest of the thread to refresh your memory. The point is that Golden Gate Park can compete with Central Park...accept it.

Also, you do understand the concept of rates right? Of course NYC has more millionaires and billionaires than SF. The NYC metro is three times larger.
