San Francisco's density is boosted by its apartment complexes.

There's suburban housing in the city. I don't consider that insanely dense.

NYC's density is boosted by it's apartment complexes. You an say the same thing about almost any city. What a silly and ignorant thing to say.

Not really.

NYC isn't suburban. You won't find bungalow housing next to apartment buildings unless you go REALLY far out into the outer boroughs.

A legitimately urban city doesn't need apartment buildings to boost its density ratings.

You must be a SF hater. The truth is Sf, demolishes Philly as a city. You are going to have to learn to accept it. SF is also denser on paper too so yeah.

No, you all just love to delude yourselves into thinking that.

San Francisco is urban for the West Coast and that's it. You'd never find bungalow housing in a legitimately urban city.

You're not as important as you think you are. Get over yourselves, New Money.

SF is "denser on paper" because Philadelphia lost population, and at Philadelphia's previous peak it was almost entirely rowhousing with much smaller apartment buildings. Philadelphia blows SF out of the water in many categories, especially when it comes to being urban.

And Philly is actually denser in the core 49 sq miles - actually almost 18% more dense.

In the same space as SF it would be over a million. Almost 33% of the 130sq miles of philly are not inhabited, ports, airports, refineries, industrial wasteland etc.

But regardles SF is dense, esp by US standadrs. to me very similar to Boston and Philly in this reagrd

You won't find bungalows in Boston or Philadelphia.

You do realize that most San Francisco housing is rowhouses, correct? Philly has plenty of detached homes as well, but both cities have a ton of rowhouses.

No, it isn't.

Philadelphia's only detached housing is either projects, RDA projects, or in the far Northeast and far Northwest.

You are not now nor will you ever be as urban as Philadelphia. Period.
