A comment on Silicon Valley Is Stuck In An Uncanny Valley Of Density. Parent comment
San Jose's 5,000 per square mile underestimates what it feels like to live there.

All that area in the southeast are farms and mountains. A The entire northern part are marshes. Its "effective" density is really much closer to 7-8,000 per square mile.
Los Angeles is also one where the density numbers underestimate the feeling of it. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Los+Angeles,+CA&hl=en&...
A lot of that land is mountains. Indeed, south-central and central parts of LA have about the same population as SF and pretty much the same density: http://projects.latimes.com/mapping-la/neighborhoods/populat...
