I think that what they mean is that the height of buildings in SF is limited in most places (except the financial district).
So while the land is mostly occupied, the buildings could be 10x bigger (each of them).
So yes.. there is some "artificial" scarcity. Yes but.
If the city was a manhattan with only big buildings, nobody would want to live there, anyway. The reason why people like SF is that it does NOT feel too much like a big city IMO
