The San Francisco Bay Area is absolutely not by any stretch of the imagination densely-populated. At 332 people per square km (859/sq mi), it's a third as dense as Peoria. It could grow by 50% and still be on par with New Jersey, which isn't exactly Hong Kong.
Even if you're just looking at the city of San Francisco itself -- or even just the neighborhoods of the city that surround underground train stations -- the population density is a joke: https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/3qu9uv/i_made_maps_of_all_the_fourstory_zoning/ https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/3qu9uv/i_made...

- kwhitefoot 9y agoThank you, at last a simple fact that I can relate to other parts of the world. That's actually less than the average for the UK: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/2967374/England-is-most-crowded-country-in-Europe.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/2967374/England-is-.... So really not dense at all for what people seem to be regarding as an urban area.
