SF doesn't have the size of NYC, you're very right there, but it is still quite large and has a good deal to offer. City sizing is not all or nothing, and Indianapolis is nothing like SF in terms of offerings. SF transit is less than ideal, but we can't entirely discount it. I'd of course love to see more, as would many, but SF has plenty of other problems to solve of course.

This depends on the person :) I've found that on the peninsula, anything from the inner sunset to the water, bounded by the bottom of the mission, can be walked if someone wants and takes their time. Of course that's going to be mainly young able bodied people given the hills, but it does work for a subset of people. Let's also not discount downtown Oakland and the 45 minute walk zone around that either.
- clairity 6y agoyup, san francisco, the city proper, is very walkable, although some neighborhoods have fewer businesses and services that cater to locals than others. between when i lived there and my return visits, i've probably walked or biked nearly the whole city by now. there's no need to qualify its walkability either. for most destinations, you can avoid steep hills and don't particularly need to be either young nor fit.
