Yeah, SF has lots of good to it too. I'm not debating that all. The point I'm making is more that there is serious a problem. Vancouver has good sides to it too. Vancouver also has a serious problem. The problem is not the consequence of the size of the city, but of culture, policy and/or other contextual circumstances. It doesn't make everywhere in the city bad, but the fact that such a serious problem exists in the midst of so much surrounding abundance is especially tragic.
