Yeah, that second aerial of SF is fucking sick.
You know... I've been to SF; it's a great city, and it just doesn't feel as harshly urban as it looks from above. The lack of trees really makes it appear pretty stark. In my experience though, its urban feel is no different than Chicago or Montreal or even certain parts of Manhattan. IMO, Philadelphia is a far more 'intense' urban experience. IMO, South Philly is by far the most bleak urban area that I've been to in NA. And I've been to every major city except for Atlanta. San Francisco is actually rather beautiful and has nowhere near the harsh urban feel as it appears to have in these aerial photos. Maybe everything being the same height has a lot to do with its harsh appearance too. In any event, thought I'd through my 2 cents in as these aerial photos don't do very well to illustrate the true
feel of a city.
