It sounds pretty appropriate. This is another SF reference "Stand on Zanzibar", one of the earliest inspirations for cyberpunk, in which we are routinely remembered that all of humanity would be able to stand on the small island of Zanzibar, but that growth is problematic.

For others that were confused as I was: SF here is Science Fiction not San Francisco.
