I feel so bad for people that live in San Francisco. It really has the worst taxi situation. If you call a cab you are guaranteed a long wait, plus there is a HUGE chance of no show. Forget trying to hail a cab, that just doesn't happen. Ever.
New York (Manhattan) is a lot better- plus there are tons of gypsy cabs (non-medallion) that you can get in when you are in a pinch.
Chicago is the best U.S. city I have been in for cabs. Short wait if you call, but usually no problem hailing one from just about anywhere, anytime. Even in the rain. It's so easy, I'm not sure why.
