Is San Francisco The Brooklyn To Silicon Valley's ...
The San Francisco Bay Area is not a major metro area? There are over 7 million people here.

Though only something like 800,000 actually
live
in SF.

San Fracisco is half the size of Brooklyn. It seems silly to compare it to all of New York (which is 6x bigger in land area).

I agree that it is a major metro, but the article is comparing San Fran to Brooklyn and Silicon Valley to Manhattan in that it should be a major metro area with its large industries but that people instead choose to commute to SF.

Ask someone from the east coast what are the 10 biggest cities in the country. I would bet 99/100 wouldn't guess San Jose is in there.
