According to Forbes, London has 28 billionaires and San Francisco has 12. LOL.
Actually the Bay Area have over 40 and the UK has a less. LOL

And don't even bring up San Jose/Bay Area/Whatever because hundreds world's billionaires own property in London since it's a far more international destination.
In other words, London's elite are very transient and don't really live there.
Hillarious.

There is no place in cheap San Francisco that can match places like Kensington.
And Greater London's Per Capita GDP is poor by Bay Area standards.

Yes, London is surrounded and has easy access to places like Paris/Monaco/Switzerland and is in a centralized location..and San Francisco is surrounded by......Bakersfield? San Diego? LOL. London attracts the world's best and greatest hence the much higher property prices. The only people who care about and desire to purchase property in San Francisco live in the area.
San Francisco has 12 billionaires, London has 28. London is very expensive, San Francisco is cheap. London is the world's Financial Capital.
Also, San Francisco is one of the only major western United States cities with a reversed East -------> West migration trend.
More people in SF move to NYC, Chicago and Los Angeles than the other way around. Maybe Boston and Washington can be added to that list as well. I guess it isn't that great afterall, Montclair? LOL. As I've said, SF is simply a city people pass through. No sense of community, nobody cares.
And London has more billionaires. And more billionaire residents from multiple countries. Homes in London sell for 100 million pounds (or $175,000,000 USD). Nothing like that could happen in San Francisco.

*yawns* Im dealing with a sophomore.

The City by the Bay outshined the rest of the field in attracting alumni from the nation's top schools. More of the class of 1998 from Harvard, Stanford, Rice, Princeton, Duke and Northwestern picked San Francisco (http://www.forbes.com/afxnewslimited/feeds/afx/2008/06/24/afx5146141.html?partner=lingospot - broken link) as home, 10 years out of school, compared with any other metro.

Larry Ellison's mansion in Woodside is worth $170 Million.
LOL, what does that have to do with the fact that more people in San Francisco move to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles (and maybe Boston and Washington DC) than the other way around? Absolutely nothing. Why do people run out of SF in droves? Stop trying to hide behind irrelevant information. I know the truth hurts - specifically that pesky one that shows SF's strange migration patterns.
Back to the topic ; London is better than SF. London is the premier Financial Capital of the World, London is more expensive, London is more upscale, London is more diverse, London is more desirable.
London could be considered the Capital of the World.
London is the better city, and if I were limited to just the cities proper I would pick London... would rather live in the bay area though...
weather, ocean, wine region, beaches, redwoods, mountains, geography is all better than what is around london.
