I used to live there.

I wanted to experience living in a big city... and since I worked in Mtn View, the reverse commute (sometimes by train) was not too bad. So I moved to Japantown.

Of all the big cities to live in... San Francisco was on the top of my list ( others were Boston, London, Sydney, Paris... maybe Barcelona ).

BTW, I love to visit NYC... for like a week at a time and then I'm ready to leave.
