I think that’s because of where the city is defined. SF is just SF- it doesn’t extend that far south and doesn’t even include the east bay. NYC on the other hand includes big areas like east Queens and Staten Island that are effectively just suburbs. I’ve lived in both and if you’re sort of near the core then NYC is much, much more walkable than SF.
