Cant wait for the Treasure Island development. It will be the coolest infill project in San Francisco and we'll finally get to join the skyline above water club.
Though anything over 1 miles gets too much of Jersey and kills the density that runs North, South, West from the core. East is much lower density into places in Jersey
These threads are dumb, I would never want Chicago, LA, SF, Boston or Philly to be remotly like Manhattan, the fact they are all unique is the reason people go to each city, if I was looking for a Manhattan I would go to Manhatten, inot SF, LA, or Chicago.
I think you're all short-changing Philly in terms of parks; it's in the running. The real Manhattan wins on everything but parks and museums (gotta give DC the edge there)

Philly has nice parks, but none are by the city center. There's no Central Park or Boston Common equivalent.

Central Park isn't in the city center either; it's the center of the island but north of Downtown and Midtown. Philadelphia's Fairmount Park starts at the Art Museum and is mostly bordered by very urbanized areas. There's also the Delaware waterfront; supposedly they were doing things on the Schuylkill waterfront on the east bank but last I was there, there was a park, but it stank (literally, of garbage).
