Seattle, SF: Separated at birth?

Our sister paper in San Francisco published an amusing feature headlined You Know You're in San Francisco When ... that catalogs the wacky zeitgeist of the City by the Bay.

The funny thing is, quite a few of the items on that list could apply equally well to Seattle. Some examples:

  • There is an extreme housing shortage, but the political establishment responds by not allowing builders to build.
  • You lament the negative impact of those awful big-box stores on local mom-and-pop hardware stores while you're complaining to the cashier at Home Depot.
  • You're an unemployed dot-com refugee and college dropout with no job prospects, and you think it's the president who is stupid.

How well do you think the piece describes the Emerald City?

(Thanks to Tracy in S.F. for the link.)

No way, San Francisco is to crazy, dirty and too far gone to be in the same league with gorgeous Seattle.

Lalalala...land resident.
