Let's do the math...100K/sq. mile x 49 sq. miles = 4,900,000. BIGGER THAN L.A.!!! No need to line Golden Gate Park or Alamo Square with 40 story towers. Can get plenty of density with 4-10 storys outside of the downtown area like Pedestrian says and still preserve many of the the old neighborhoods with the victorians that the locals and tourists cherish. Paris is an excellent model, of dense 5-10 story housing and a few skyscraper districts. London too.
I read that SF actually has 46 some square miles not 49. They just rounded up to 7x7 to make it 49. BTW, there is no way that SF can make it to 100k/sq mile. With all the hills and it being surrounded by water, it just can’t happen. I could be wrong. I think 25k to 30k per square mile is the densiest it can get.
