So your point is that San Jose and Baltimore are alike in being overshadowed and that's about it...

Anyone who lives in the Bay Area knows that SF does not overshadow SJ. Not in 2010.

Dear heavens people, lets start using the tab feature! It took some crazy hella long time loading to this page (a whole minute!).

I am going with the Bay Area, despite the fact that I would probably rather live in Washington DC, I like the Bay Area a bit more.

These pictures are for 18Montclair & Polo89. Enjoy!

More on the Bay Area:

This is like choosing between a BMW or a Mercedes, a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. Either way its a win. I think this is more of a cultural comparison. The Bay Area which has a West Coast, laissez-faire lifestyle and religious culture, mainly white, hispanic, and East Asian populace. DC-Baltimore has an East Coast, fast-paced, Bible belt, mainly white, black, with various pockets of immigration groups. When I say Bible belt for DC-Bmore, I know they're not Bible Belt, but they have more Christian churches per capita, I'm assuming. I know other religions exist, but not at the level like the West Coast.

My personal preference is DC because of Howard University, and its East Coast. So I can visit family in NJ and in NC with relative ease. I would probably stay in NoVa. However, I'm a skyline freak and the chance to see SF is one of my dreams.
