There isn't too many brick buildings left in SF. Actually you really won't see too many big brick buildings on the West Coast because they are very dangerous during earthquakes.
During the 1989 earthquake in SF many people were killed because of falling brick buildings.
This is what brick buildings look like after earthquakes
Also plentiful lumber and basically no clay meant wood was a cheaper way to build anyway.
How has St Louis not gotten mentioned more? More brick than any other city.
No. As I have pointed out in a previous reply: Just go to Queens, NY. The residential part of the Borough is almost all brick and has a larger population.

sorry about that . i was trying to find a pic with a good angle of co-op city to drive my point home, but there weren't any good ones.
Newark is called the "Brick City" however anyone who has been there knows that most of the city isn't brick. For instance, most of the housing is made from wood. New York, Philadelphia, and maybe Baltimore are way more brick based cities than Newark.
