San Fran struck me as not very dense when I visited.

[andbberger]

it is in fact the second densest large city in the US

You must be taking some weird specifics here. Nothing I can see lists San Fran as second densest.

Not really, I meant exactly what I said. It is the second densest large (> 100k) city (city proper, not metro area).

Not that specific

[soperj]

even in that regard it's third after New York City, and Paterson New Jersey.

Sure, still much higher than one might think from walking around. Certainly surprised me

More a testament to the ubiquity of sprawl in the states than anything I think
