> NY is where the first $100M apartment is.

Most things being sold for more than 20M are probably being sold for money laundering purposes. A more fair comparison would be looking at only apartments that people actually live in full time; a pied-à-terre isn’t really part of basic living expenses.

There's an In-N-Out on the north side of SF and Chinatown has a ton of cheap eating options. You can eat for cheap in either city.

Just one in-n-out?

Yeah SF has only one In-N-Out and it's more expensive and crowded than any other location I've seen.

SF strongly limits fast food (which I find annoying). My suburb home town had more McDonald's locations than SF does.

"on the north side of SF" is really "over in Fisherman's Wharf", which is a notorious tourist trap that's not convenient to get to in the slightest. It can't be compared to a pizza slice joint or falafel or what have you.

Chinatown, yes.

There’s this thing, called a grocery store.

I’ve even heard there is multiple of those in the city !
