What about the way that it currently is makes it better? I've lived in the Bay area and visited NYC several times and would vastly prefer to live in a city designed like NYC but with a Bay area climate. For some concrete examples: NYC has far better public transit than the peninsula. The block layout of NYC means you can live on a purely residential block but generally never be farther than a few short blocks from a busy commercial area with small shops and restaurants.
