It seems like an awesome city to visit. It reminds me of Philly for some reason though....at least the layout of the city does.

Good suggestion.

And as I was saying earlier, Im shocked that SF has 3 times as many buildings taller than 200' than Montreal. That's strange considering Montreal is way larger.

Anyhow,

That's nice, but San Francisco feels more packed.

Every street's density is different in both cities. Montreal has much larger city population.

Montreal has plenty of small and mid-sized skyscrapers. City size or population has nothing to do with number of skyscrapers. Montreal has height restriction, and they don't want to destroy the beauty of the city turning it into Manhattan. It has plenty and enough skyscrapers, and many more proposed/under construction.

That's nice but SF feels more densely populated and thus feels more packed.

Not sure if that is true. Anyway too high density sucks anyway. Everytime I walk in New York I wanna kill myself :P Especially in Midtown Manhattan

that's nice, but SF still is more densely populated and feels more packed.
