I will play, what is your definition of "better"?
For me there has to be:
1. limited land by geography
2. good industrial + infrastructure base / employment opportunity for tertiary educated
Just above 2 alone you don't get that many options.. NYC, Boston + Cambridge area has long passed SF in affordability, Seattle is quite close to SF.

I'll agree, I'd buy in sf over yvr, but only if I lived there, the risk reward just isn't there as a foreign buyer (unless ur an all cash baller)
