When you create a website, and it gets users, that's what you want, right? But now your massive number of users become a problem. You need to scale to handle the number of users.

Same thing with wealth creation. Too much wealth creation is the problem, the same way having too many users is the problem. It's a good problem. It's a problem you're delighted to have. But it is a problem, and one you have to solve.

Disclaimer: I have very little idea how to get SF to scale. I don't even live there.

The number of users is not the problem, the lack of scaling to support them is the problem. Scaling sf would be easy - just approve housing development projects faster.

Housing is only one part of the problem. Infrastructure and public services also have to be scaled up when population increases. Otherwise you end up with third-world type cities.
