Nearly 12M Square Feet of Vacant Office Space in S.F

The way you feel about SF vs your 300k residents town is how I feel about Tokyo vs SF. When I'm in SF it's sad how few choices I have and how bad most of them are. And all those asian restaurants you mention are not remotely "good". You can find a few descent asian restaurants in the south bay like say Fremont but LA does them all significantly better and in far higher quantity

Correct. Both of those cities are larger than SF. Less walkable due to lower density, though.

If it weren’t for SF’s high concentration of my industry (tech), I’d likely move to NYC, London, or Paris.

I find Tokyo far more walkable than SF. I don't like the public transportation in SF. It's dirty, gross, and slow and have to walk over homeless people and smell piss everywhere and even without transportation most areas in Tokyo are super walkable with access to almost everything you could need just a few minutes walk away.

I'd say Paris and London (and most > 1m people cities in Europe and many in Asia) are also more walkable than SF.

Agreed, and I think the parent was saying that LA and Fremont are less walkable than SF, not that Tokyo is.
