San Francisco is a very rare exception. And new York did suffer from Urban Renewal madness, they lost Penn Station, Nearly lost Grand Central and almost had a massive highway network across Manhattan.
The cities that didnt get reduced to massive parking lots were already extremely dense, but even those had terrible mass housing projects that created horrible crime and blight for decades in the 50's, 60's, 70,s and 80's.
