"Brooklyn is 1.5x denser than Mission"
Citation absolutely needed. Show me source of your numbers. Brooklyn runs the gamut from skyscrapers to single-family houses, but the average construction is 1-3 story apartment buildings, just like the mission.
In any case, even if you're right, it's not a counterargument: how does the western 3/4ths of SF compare to Brooklyn? Why should we be focusing on the Mission, and not, say, Sea Cliff?
Let's try to put a condo building to Jack Dorsey's mansion and see what happens.

Why not both?
- timr 9y agoYou're comparing SF in 2008 to Brooklyn in 2017. Click the source link, and you'll see that current estimate for the Mission (30,408/mi^2) is much closer to that of Brooklyn. The difference is only ~20%. http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Mission-District-San-Francisco-CA.html http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Mission-District-San-F...
- traytonwhite 9y agoBecause the Mission has easy access to BART, Caltrain, highways, and is central-ish to the SFMTA whereas Sea Cliff is just sort of out there.
- timr 9y agoGreat. You've just excluded 75% of San Francisco, and made my argument.
