For the record, I love Philly. It is very underrated and a fun, gritty town.

I prefer SF because it *feels* like a bigger city and is more unique, with denser, more urban, and more distinct neighborhoods.

The half-ring around the bay looks like its all virtually one city, and driving from SF to SJ, or from SF to Oakland, or Oakland to SJ, it all feels like one city. There is no break whatsoever. That urban stretch (which has the large bulk of Northern CA's population), along with Marin and Solano immediately to the North and the East Bay suburbs you see directly across the mountains, now has around 7.5 million people. It should clealry all be considered one metro area.

The smaller beach city on the southern edge of the picture is Santa Cruz, which IS considered to be a different CSA. See the difference?

And that compares to 55,000,000 people????

There are tons of immature posters on this forum and they really bring down the atmosphere. So I agree with you. However, when so-and-so from St. Louis says makes an ignorant comment, that tells you something about that particular poster, not the city of St. Louis or where ever they are from. That’s the point I was making.

I see your point...my thread is ruined.

But even still, people can have their opinions-whether you like it or not.

It is not opinions...who cares...it is lack of maturity and tact; mixed in with name calling and insults with Machiavellian twists that ruin the discussion and taint an opinion into a flame starter.

Also, I apologize, I should not judge a city by some of it's residents.

No, and that's not what he's getting at either. The BosWash is certainly well-connected, but it is not the continuous urban area that the Bay Area is. These are separate beasts, and it is meant to address the idea that the Bay Area as a whole (including both SF and SJ) is as much a functioning metro area as the other formally defined metros/MSAs are.

Now was that so hard...no innuendos...just your opinion said tactifully.

And after I praised San Francisco in my opening post.
