One caveat I'd add is that in NY, finance might pay the bills, but it doesn't dominate the city. There are plenty of other industries which play significant roles in the city: fashion, publishing, filmmaking, etc. In SF, tech dominates the culture of the city. Countless times, I've gone to bars and heard pitches about startups, or discussions about some new technology. In NY, I've seldom heard people talk about i-banking, or anything finance related. It just feels way less like a monoculture.
