Ive been to 25 or more premier cities in europe and south america and Sf is the ldo goat town when you look at everything comprehensively - there is just no comparison, especially when you factor in the burbs. I took it for granted somewhat, living there that is
. There is a sense of mysticism in sf because its the best/happiest place on earth, but it's not teeming with douches like in New York IMO - however I am a douche to some, so take it fwiw.
