[easy as pie]

yeah, i totally disagree that some sites in the intact historic hoods couldn't do with a massive increase in density. three sites in particular literally get my blood boiling - the stanyan/haight cala site, the california and hyde cala site and the sanchez and market chase building, where the neighbors actually successfully defended single story retail with surface parking, knocking out dozens of units. in a normal city, all three of those sites would see 8-10 story towers with retail walls. it's sick, just sick, but changing, thankfully.
