As we've discussed the last few pages, here we have San Francisco. The strict definition, matches almost perfectly with the skyscrapers zone on the Pedestrian's post above. Density is relatively low because there are plenty of office towers in this area while the bulk of the growth is happening south of Market Street, around Salesforce Tower up to the docks.
Downtown San Francisco, the broader definition, also encompasses Chinatown, Nob Hill, Tenderloin, Civic Center, Rincon Hill/South Beach and South of Market. Very dense and populated area, comparable to Chicago's Loop + Near North Side, posted on Page 2.
And as a bonus, Downtowns of Oakland and San Jose. Their performance, compared to the boom everywhere and the very strong performance of the metro area, it's relatively underwhelming.
