As someone who's lived in both SF and BK, I agree.
One other point I'd like to add that makes BK more 'human scale' compared to SF is the speed at which cars travel. BK traffic (for the most part) moves significantly slower than SF traffic. There aren't as many uninterrupted stretches of road in BK where motorists can speed up to 50 mph. This makes BK (and Manhattan where traffic moves significantly slower than both) a safer place to walk and bike. Furthermore, the hilly topography of SF creates unique blind spots that the flat expanse of simply NYC doesn't have.
