Maybe one of SF’s tech companies can invent a technology that would allow housing to be stacked vertically.

I think it’s more likely that they end up with floating apartments, likely in shipping containers, parked just outside the city’s legal limits.

If SF land is so valuable why not just build more of it?

Same reason you can’t build houses on land you already own. They won’t let you.

Cmon - they are just too busy trying to steal more of my data

> Where do you propose all these new houses be built?

That's your problem right there, when you write "houses". Cities need apartment buildings, which allow more homes per same area than single family houses.

> SF is surrounded by water on 3 sides. Where do you propose all these new houses be built?

Up seems to be the obvious answer.

Building islands would be cool too. Didn’t Dubiai (sp) do that?

Let's please not wreck the San Francisco Bay with artificial islands.

You mean more artificial islands built on landfill.

New construction can replace old construction. In theory.

Let builders tear down old buildings and single dwelling house and build up and denser. NIMBYism prevents this currently because people want to "keep the feel" of the area. Well that's impossible. Things always change, you can't go back, you can only delay and price yourself out of your own house. At least most get to sell at a good profit.

Vertically.
