Im not sure I buy this article - where as it has the most expensive real estate in United States and its the most popular tourist city on the planet
Now we live here in Marin County and dont ever go out to the city because- screw it. ! No parking. Car break ins. Etc
I highly doubt that when compared to New York, Miami, Paris, Rome, Venice, and many others. I doubt it's even the most popular tourist city on the West Coast. I believe that would be Los Angeles with the Hollywood appeal and various attractions like Disneyland, etc.
