The Yscraper is in a lame part of San Francisco, if you are a young person. The building is lame, too... unless you like living in an apartment that is like a college dorm or old folks home.
Regarding SF vs Palo Alto. SF is way more fun. But keep in mind historical patterns. How many successful startups have been started in SF? How many have been started up in the valley?
Valley based startups are more successful, simply because there is nothing else to do down there.

- menloparkbum 20y agoIn Manhattan terms, it is a "bridge and tunnel" part of town. That is, nothing happens until the weekends - when all the tourists and people coming in from Pinole or Fremont show up to party. The locals are pretty sketchy - lots of tweaker cab driver or bartender types. The tourist party animal types are kind of gross also - many 2nd tier businessmen coming into town to get wasted and go to all the strip clubs. I much prefer the mission for nightlife and neighborhoods like Cole Valley for living.
