Which is?

Baltimore and D.C. are much closer.

One of the airports is literally called "BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON International."

love your passion, and SF is a great city, but... there is no "and". Believe it or not, there are other cities in the U.S that are actually better than SF in *many/most" areas (NYC, Chi, LA.) in the question of urbanity, culture, infra, etc. (hello NYC and Chi!). Humility and empathy can go a long way.

The Bay Area is One Media Market. I look up the News in "San Jose," "Oakland," "San Franisco," and I get Bay Area News. Isn't the Public Transportation for the entire area called the Bay Area Rapid Transit? Don't the San Franciso 49ers play a half Mile outside of San Jose?

Quit while you're behind.

This is a pretty poor rebuttal.


The "Bay Area" is a region not unlike Southern California.

It's named for the San Francisco BAY, not the city or county. So you didn't demonstrate any San Francisco-city specific nexus at all.


Going along with the herd doesn't always mean being right!

I don't know what side of the fence you're on; I don't know you. You gave misinformation regarding Baltimore's relationship with DC. I saw it fit to address the matter, nothing more. From the information I've gathered, the Bay Area has a stronger relationship, in multiple facets than Baltimore and DC.

Some numbers-

Urban area population:

San Francisco: 3.4 million

San Diego: 3.1 million

GDP:

Los Angeles: 1.1T USD

San Francisco: 670B USD

San Diego: 270B USD

San Francisco is the second largest UA/MSA/CSA, but San Diego is the second largest political jurisdiction (San Diego county 3.3 million).

What do you think?
Correction to this, Riverside-San Bernardino is California's #2 MSA, not San Francisco-Oakland.
