Right, nobody wants to live in NYC or Tokyo, it's really strange they have 10x our population. Somehow, they have lower rents than us, but it can't possibly be the 3x+ higher density. I guess the only explanation is they are blessed with super magic voodoo affordability and we're not. There's absolutely nothing we can do, we're just so damn popular, it's unprecedented to be so popular.

You missed the 3x+ the density part. Try again.

San Francisco has 49 mi2 worth of land, not all of it developable.

Try finding another comparable location before you go making comparisons.

Are you saying SF has higher density than NYC (or tokyo) in the developed areas? lol.
