I would like to second Pittsburgh. And the smug "I'm leaving" response is one of the reasons I got sick of living in SF. Then Seattle. I'm so glad to be away from the West Coast after ten years. Yes, Pittsburgh is the closest to SF you can find back East. LOTS of hills, STEEP streets, twice as many sets of steps, and very, very European. Eastern European, to be exact. Imagine a poor man's San Francisco in the Appalachians, with deer and wild turkeys running around (seriously, deer crossing signs and regular sightings down the street in my inner-city neighborhood). Pittsburgh is America's best kept secret, by far. By the way, I just got under contract for a sparkling, immaculate Craftsman bungalow, built in 1926, on a hill with a view of the city and one of our 3 rivers (the Ohio in this case). Final price after negotiations? $52,500. No, I didn't forget a zero.

I was only lucky enough to visit San Francisco and the thing I noticed the most was being surrounded by water. I love the water so it figures that would stick out to me. I can't think of another city like it frankly.

I'd like to add that scale-wise, Pittsburgh is closer to Portland, but as far as the overall feel with the streets and density and hills, it reminds me the most of San Francisco. Also, while "America's Most Livable City" might not mean much in the real world, you can bet SF would be crowing about it if they hadn't come in 3rd or 4th or whatever it was. I'll always have a special place in my heart for "The City" (smug bastards), but admit it, SF is a cross between an open sewer and a concrete yuppie playground. I'm sure it was great between 1907 and 1980.

They actually do call it England's San Francisco sometimes.
Similar culture and architectures, although no high class "financial district" with skyscrapers etc.

Default None.

No city really reminds me of San Francisco. I just love it here. It's truly unique.
