So do we want San Francisco to be more like Manhattan? Is Manhattan the ideal city -- the pinnacle? I think of Manhattan as being noisy, crowded, and no where to park.

Yes, Manhattan is the ideal city. It's so ideal, that even people who live in the other four boroughs of New York City[0] refer to Manhattan as "the City."

[0] New York City is comprised of five boroughs (aka. counties): 1. Manhattan (officially known as New York County) 2. The Bronx (yes, "The Bronx." No one says "Bronx.") 3. Queens 4. Brooklyn (officially known as Kings County) 5. Staten Island

If you have a good transit system you don't need parking.

So basically you work in Manhattan, and live elsewhere. I was thinking of living in Manhattan, and having a car for weekend getaways -- is that possible?
