The best city in the US is... San Francisco.

by canbalci - last update: Oct 18, 2005

Well, maybe except its chilly summers.

San Francisco has it all... The scenic bay, distinct victorian architecture, its educated and liberal minded people, and tons of outdoor activities and places you can go just a short drive from the city. I've been around the US, and I can say that I am really lucky that I live in the city I like the most.

What I also like about SF is that it sort of reminds me of my hometown, Istanbul. Most people don't know that the Golden Gate was named after the Golden Horn (Halic) in Istanbul.

"The name Golden Gate was given in 1846 by Capt. John C. Fremont in analogy to the Golden Horn of the Bosporus (Turkey) when he visualized rich cargoes from the Orient flowing through the strait." -- Ency. Britannica.
