A million dollars will buy a few square feet of land in San Francisco. In the middle of nowhere it can buy a square mile. Humans might prefer the former, but most other species would prefer the latter.

Unfortunately habitats are not fungible. A square mile of dry land is unlikely to be suitable for the species which live in the wetlands of a tidal estuary.

Why not make some additional wetlands too? Land is so expensive in SF that doubling the construction cost of this project won't really change anything.
