SF for weather and food. But it is an expensive, stinky place.

Food?

Better variety and high-end in SF but KC is best in the world for BBQ

I'd take Texas bbq over KC, but KC is great.

I'd choose KC for both weather and food.

I mean if “all else is truly equal” SF, for sure. But the economics for SF are

I think I'd reluctantly choose SF, just because I'm still young enough in career

That’s probably fair. Usually easier to go down than up.

SF is one of the most beautiful places on earth, it’s why everyone lives there

Coming out of grad school my job choices came down to two finalists located in KC and San Jose.

somewhere in the multiverse, sjcougar types something eerily similar...

I grew up in San Jose and loved it...

Shocked so many said KC over SF . . .

A 3000 sq/ft home in SF is literally 10 times more than one in KC. I can't

An important consideration is the people. KC is simply full of pleasant midwest folk great to work with and live around

To be fair, I hear the homeless in SF are eager to approach people.

And many people are completely open about themselves. Completely. No secrets.

The violent crime rate in Kansas City is surprisingly high

Ranked #5 worst in the U.S. Glad you've been lucky then.

I love the mountains but the ocean in San Francisco is useless.

True. Cold. Santa Cruz in July is freezing.

If salary is adjusted for COL, San Francisco. If not, probably still

KC doesn't have the poo that SF does. And BBQ beats anything SF has to offer

Y-Zag

1/24/20 9:45am

KC has better BBQ. Nothing else food wise is better

I spent Thanksgiving week in KC. Ugh. My pick is SF area and it isn't close.

BlueFrog

1/24/20 9:48am

My wife is from the KC area, so I do have that bias.

Would rather live inside a toilet, or inside a sewer?

Okay, the factors are these: your personal politics; weather; cost of living;

you forgot "proximity to seals". I assume that's a high priority for most people

I said I like the coast. Why else would I like the coast?

Those choosing KC have never lived there 🙂

From this thread, it actually looks like the opposite.
