To forestall responses decrying "Manhattanization," remember that every borough of New York City (except Staten Island) has a higher population density than San Francisco. San Francisco could add a couple hundred thousand people if just got as dense as Queens. At Brooklyn's density, the population would double.

Also building like Paris (France) or Barcelona (Spain) would add 1.7 or 1.1 million people to San Francisco.

Paris: 2.9× density, Barcelona: 2.2×.
