Again, there are sides to that. Paris is one of the few places more expensive than SF, and the quality of the density can be a subjective one. I for one dislike Paris and the kind of density it creates (comparable to London, just smells worse).

Yes

Not to mention London and Paris have a very good public transport system

In the Bay Area you have Caltrain and company shuttles mostly.

And BART and Muni and AC Transit and WestCAT and...

But yes, the SF<->SV corridor is Caltrain and company shuttles mostly.

I guess that's true. But I don't think anyone will tell you they don't want to live in Paris because of the 'crushing population density' or whathave you.

Nor will you have people in San Francisco saying they don't want to become the next Paris.

In a lot of people's mind there's only one way to have a high population density. And they're just incorrect.
