It's justified. People draw comparisons between SF and NYC, but it only serves to underscore the fact that they know absolutely nothing about what they're comparing. One is a world-class city on par with London, Paris or Tokyo. The other is a mid-sized American city with nice weather and small-town infrastructure, and a notoriety that accidentally exceeded its potential in the 1960s. The main reason it's the epicenter of the tech world today is because it's the closest thing to culture that silicon valley gets. And I say that as someone who loves (or used to love) this city. It's simply not worth paying New York prices to live in Nerdistan sur Mer.
