It certainly can be harmful. Urban sprawl. Time wasted via excruciatingly long commutes has now become the status quo in many parts of the States (certainly is around the Bay Area where I reside).
Less harmful would be advancements in public rapid transit systems. Though there is the hyperloop which Elon hinted at in the past. Let's hope that works out :).

The only real alternative is either a) making the Bay Area a less desirable place to live or b) allowing higher buildings. The Bay Area has chosen c) neither, which leads to d) the concomitantly higher prices that go with it. Edward Glaeser's book The Triumph of the City has a useful discussion of these issues.
