This is so stupid. Do the proponents of these positions ever acknowledge that maybe the Bay Area likes the current density trajection and maybe part of the Bay Area's charm is that it's not New York?

What the heck do you mean by 'the Bay Area likes ...'

Some people living in the Bay Area like the current density. Some people living there would like it more dense.

There are probably also people wishing these youngsters would move out and the whole area would turn into farmland again.

To me, denser is better. Denser means shorter commutes. Denser means lower rents. Denser means more energy efficient. Denser means more hospitalable to public transportation. Denser means more vibrate neighborhoods.
