The density of Brooklyn is almost double San Francisco, and I wouldn't consider Brooklyn a very high rise city.

  You have it exactly backwards. The density of SF is almost double Brooklyn. 18k/mi^2 vs 10k/mi^2

      It's the answer box on Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=population+density+brooklyn&oq=population+density+brooklyn https://www.google.com/search?q=population+density+brooklyn&... http://www.brooklyn.com/population.html http://www.brooklyn.com/population.html

        From your second link - "There are about 34,916 people per square mile in Brooklyn"
        • irq11 11y ago
          It also says explicitly that there are about 10,000 people per square mile elsewhere in the same page.

        Careful, I think the per km^2 numbers are getting conflated with the per mi^2 numbers.

  > The density of Brooklyn is almost double San Francisco, and I wouldn't consider Brooklyn a very high rise city. What are you smoking? I want some of that. Brooklyn has a density of 35,369.1 people per square mile. That would make it the 5th most dense city in the US. Behind only other New York areas. It would even put it in the top 10 in density for Europe. What the hell DO you consider a dense city?

    Downvoting because you can't refute inconvenient facts? Nice.

        Not exactly low-rise: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Dtown_Bklyn.JPG https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Dtown_Bk... Edit: fixed bad link

    "dense" and "high-rise" are not the same thing. And "not very high rise" is more like "medium-rise", not "low-rise".
