> Honorable mention: San Francisco is at 13th

SF is artificially small due to how the line was drawn. Even the Census Region is not really correct since it considers SF and SJ as different zones, which artificially pumps up SJ's significance.

In reality "SF"-the-region includes Silicon Valley and the East Bay, and includes the non-agricultural (basically northern part) of San Jose as a suburb.

Is it San Francisco or is it the San Jose-Oakland Metroplex?

I kind of expect people will say it is San Francisco and speculate that the other is closer to the truth.

There are so many different municipalities and enclaves that only people from that area know/care the difference between Redwood City and Palo Alto. To the rest of the country it's just SF or the Bay Area.
