You can't really compare SF to LA, because SF is a tiny, arbitrary corner of a giant metropolitan area, whereas Los Angeles is a much larger equally arbitrary slice of another giant metropolitan area.
Anyway the point is that if you're going to compare SF to something compare it to a couple of LA suburbs, maybe Downtown + Hollywood + Bel Air or something.
- jshaqaw 11y agoAgree with you Hugh. Per capita comparisons are silly given the vast population differential. I love San Fran and am no basher here but the geography+zoning of San Fran makes it an enclave for the high income with no place for anything else. Unfortunately unlike Lake Wobegon everyone can't be above average income. Not sure if San Fran has applicable lessons outside its little zone.
