Ure being diseingenius. Helsinki is 650k, but actually it's a tri-city with Espoo and Vantaa, going over 1M population. That's more than SF in a similar area.

Helsinki alone is almost twice the area of SF, Vantaa is more than twice SF’s area, and Espoo is closer to three times SF’s area, so, yes, that tri-city is more people than SF, but, no, it's not “in a similar area”.
- selfinvariant 6y agoSF Bay Area is about 7.7 million, which is higher than the whole Finnish population. I've been to Helsinki, it's a lovely place, but calling it a big city is misleading at best.
- filleduchaos 6y agoInterestingly, the few times I've been there SF felt cozy (I live in a metro area of over twenty million). It's all relative, I suppose.
