Tokyo also has the greatest public transit system in the world, and fewer restrictions on building near transit hubs. That probably helps a bit.
The SF peninsula is full of commuter rail stations that should be surrounded by mid-rises, but aren't. It's an economic tragedy.
- ekianjo 10y agoit helps but theres far not enough high rise habitations in tokyo itself. its crazy when you see the number of small shacks and 4 stories building in many places.

- ac29 10y ago3 of the 4 of those go to the same station (San Jose Diridon), and the last one (BART) is planned, though unclear if the money will ever be found.
