This is a good article by Nick Bolton comparing San Francisco and New York - http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/20/why-san-francisco-isnt-the-new-new-york/?smid=fb-nytimes&WT.z_sma=TE_WSF_20140321&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1388552400000&bicmet=1420088400000
As a San Francisco Bay Area resident, I feel the topic strikes closest to my heart.
We are what we are - the Giants and 49ers! 
The author's conclusion is this:
"So what exactly is San Francisco?
When I came across a passage in the book, “The Annals of San Francisco,” about the 1840s Gold Rush, I found the answer to that question.
“Despite the amazingly high cost of living and the extraordinary opportunities for frittering away money, everyone in early San Francisco was supremely confident that he would soon be able to return home with an incalculable amount of gold,” the author writes in the book while describing the city decades ago. “Everything was conceived on a vast scale, and there was always plenty of cash available for any scheme that might be proposed, no matter how impossible or bizarre it seemed.”
"Well would you look at that. It seems that San Francisco is the new San Francisco."
I say, San Francisco is where you will leave your heart.
