San Francisco isn't a big city population wise, but its the center of a major metropolitan area of like 8 million people (if you include San Jose)

Only people outside of the Bay Area do not include San Jose/Santa Clara Valley. But if you just combine San Francisco and Oakland you have nearly the same population of Phoenix.
Staying in Arizona I wish Tucson had a bigger downtown. But I don't think I'd like it if either Flagstaff or Prescott had. Part of their charm is that they don't!
