You've got to be kidding me.
This is what "plenty of new construction" looks like: http://rwrant.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/S%C3%A3o-Paulo-Skyline.jpg http://rwrant.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/S%C3%A3o-Paul...
Sure, it's ugly. Sure, you don't want SF to look like that. But don't try to pretend that SF is addressing the issue.

- rayiner 13y agoI think it looks great. Also, Sao Paulo is about the same density as San Francisco, it's just built more vertical.
- philsnow 13y agoAgreed. This is what the SF bay should look like: http://photovide.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/028.jpg http://photovide.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/028.jpg
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoNot even close. SF Bay Area: 395/sqkm Sao Paolo Metro: 2,469/sqkm http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_S%C3%A3o_Paulo http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_S%C3%A3o_Paulo http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area
- rayiner 13y agoI'm talking about San Francisco, not the 5,500+ square miles of faceless suburbs surrounding the city. Sao Paulo (city proper): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo (18,690/sq mi). San Francisco (city proper): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco (17,620/sq mi). The metro area density is mostly a measure of whether the suburbs are more or less urbanized. E.g. the LA/OC metro CSA is substantially more dense than the SF/Oakland/Fremont CSA, but nobody would say that LA is denser than SF. Rather, LA is surrounded by urban sprawl while SF is surrounded by suburbs.
- harryh 13y agoSF would be a much much better city if it looked like that.
