I would choose neither, especially if child-rearing and / or home ownership are / could be involved in the grand scheme of things for you.
Otherwise, SF all the way. More sky, better ocean, more California, less chaos.

I'm not completely serious, but my feeling is that it's not very metropolitan. I'm used to bustle of more industrial cities.

(Oct 29 07, 08:58)in his defense i have heard many times sf described as having a small town feel. that you get to know people quite well b/c the scenes are small (art, music etc)

san francisco is very laid back. the taxi drivers are nice too.

(Oct 29 07, 09:54)I think that's very true. SF is only 10% the size of NYC. I felt that in NYC everyone is trying to "make it" and that everyone is trying to one up each other, or has something terribly to prove. which is sad. bigger population does not meet better quality people. it just means that people flock to the big city. think of the eggyolk statistics model.
anyway, i can't imagine this world without new york anyway. it's like a micro-world rolled into one.

NYC is for people who know what they want. SF is where people go to figure out what they want.

(Oct 29 07, 11:33)So you don't hang out with Brooklyn hipsters too much, eh? The only thing they seem to want is the coolest new threadless shirt and where to find the dark brews...

(Oct 29 07, 11:33)Funniest thing I've heard all day. Get a clue.

the funniest thing that happened to me in brooklyn was when a new friend offered me a dark ale and said it was from BELGIUM like i have never heard of such a foreign concept..
.. and it turns out the he was wrong, because the brew was actually Unibroue, which is a Montreal based brewery..
yeah...

but i am always amazed to hear NYers describe NYC as anything less than Utopia. it cracks me up.

pardon me for my ignorance - but aren't big North America cities a bit alike? Same happens here.
i mean, having this "scene" or that "scene"... isn't it a bit rubbish nowadays? They all have "scenes", funny people, crazy people.
I very much doubt this city-character thing, like i doubt country-character thing. Of course opportunities vary, but what makes a difference when you choose a place to live is your PLAN. what do you want to do, what chances do you have, etc, etc.
You just don't fall in a place and everything changes.

I don't hang out with Brooklyn hipsters at all actually. Not my scene really. And Arthur, you must just be bitter. Or have an inferiority complex. Portland will do that to people.
