No, the opposite is true. SF population increases by 20% because of the net increase due to commuters. Table 2 on page 11: http://www.census.gov/hhes/commutin

  That's not the number the parent is talking about. The question is how many people are commuting out of the city, not the difference between in and out.

    Sure, but his claim is still wrong. Even nearby San Jose has a much higher proportion of reverse commuters than San Francisco. http://www.census.gov/hhes/commuting/files/ACS/Table3.xls http://www.census.gov/hhes/commuting/files/ACS/Table3.xls

  The proportion of reverse commuters in a region has nothing to do with how many commute in each day. It's just reverse commuters divided by residents. As far as the increase due to commuters, 20% is very low for any area with corporate offices and not just residential neighborhoods. Manhattan grows 95%. In the Bay Area, Mountain View has 75,000 residents, and Google alone brings 25,000 people in each day. Palo Alto (the next town up the 101) also grows ~80%.

    Your original claim is still incorrect. Even nearby San Jose has a higher proportion of reverse commuters than San Francisco, much higher: http://www.census.gov/hhes/commuting/files/ACS/Table3.xls http://www.census.gov/hhes/commuting/files/ACS/Table3.xls
