So the only solution is a even higher population density?
- swarnie_ 8y agoDoes SF have high population density? That's never been my impression from reading HN.
- rlanday 8y agoYes, it does. Ignoring cities with fewer than 75,000 people, it’s the fourth most dense city in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density#List_of_incorporated_cities_in_the_United_States_with_over_75,000_residents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... Automobile-based suburban sprawl is the only functional development pattern in the US because we’re so bad at building and maintaining public transit systems.
- davidw 8y agoPick two: * A desirable place to live * No growth * Affordable And for growth, you get to pick a mix of growing out, in and up. San Francisco proper obviously can't sprawl, so it needs to grow in and up. And the surrounding suburbs need to start doing their part too.
