The city has excellent food, art, music, and other culture. In the suburbs I can't go see a world class gallery of modern art. Or go see a musical. Or go see live jazz. Or go to a bar that specializes in modern cocktails. It is also a capital of activism and support for the LGBT community.

Cities aren't for everybody. Some people really want green spaces and SF doesn't really offer much there but to think that there are no benefits is just wrong.

Not for much longer, the way things are going.

You can get to SF in a short time from many suburbs. Almost everyone I know wants to be able to do these things at the drop of a hat, but rarely does these things as a percentage of time.

Time mostly goes to sleep, work, family, etc.
