By all means compare SF against Manhattan. The argument doesn’t change.
The East bay is cheaper that SF too, but so what? Your argument is that increasing the density of SF will make it substantially cheaper.
The example of Manhattan contradicts you.
- kelnos 5y agoThe thing is, I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting we turn SF into Manhattan. You're presenting that as if it's what people want, or if it's the only option. Even a modest increase in density, nowhere near Manhattan levels, would help SF enormously.
- zepto 5y agoNowhere have I suggested that anyone wants SF to turn into Manhattan. That seems to be something you are reading into it. The point is that when you compare the two, it be some clear that that even if you did turn SF info Manhattan, you might get a 10% reduction in prices. A modest increase in density would have no appreciable impact.
