Interesting! Not sure what's constraining supply to the point that SF's average cost per SQFT is so much higher than Manhattan's? Restrictions on building up? Rent control limiting supply?

All of the yellow areas have 40-ft height limits -- even though huge corridors in the yellow areas have good transit, freeway access, etc.

The Western half of the city is all single family homes or 2/3 unit apartments, it's insane:
