SF should worry about trying to house the number of people that want to live in SF, a solvable problem. The idea that "everyone" want to live in SF is ridiculous, almost no one, relative to everyone, wants to live in SF. Equally ridiculous is the idea that SF has allowed enough people to live there. > SF is very dense because Paris and Tokyo are considered much larger jurisdictions. I can't fully parse what you mean here, but it seems that the reality is exactly the opposite of what you intend, given the rest of you comment.

Enough people want to live in SF that there are lots of complaints about why SF can’t be even more dense than it is. I would have loved to live in SF when I was rooming in San Carlos, but I simply couldn’t afford it so Caltrain it was. SF has plenty of people, multi story housing, transit, traffic, already. It seems like a poor target for claiming its a city that isn’t dense enough. And given the problems people have now, it most definitely is at it’s carrying capacity. > I can't fully parse what you mean here, but it seems that the reality is exactly the opposite of what you intend, given the rest of you comment. Both Paris and Tokyo are large municipalities that cover as much area as the Bay Area, not the smaller area city of SF which is only the second most populous city in that area. Tokyo has 847 sqm compared to SF’s 47 sqm, they aren’t comparable. Paris is 1000 sqm.
