Cities are good, actually, and the reason SF is bad is because it is a city that refuses to become a city, a city governed by NIMBYists who want to distort it into a little bonsai of human habitation and technoeconomic production, utterly unsuitable for providing shade.

full on flush-faced shame at your comment is forcing me to elaborate that "i feel personally uncomfortable in the cities i've been in, and the distress at the thought of returning has caused me to use hyperbole"

Don't worry NIMBYs aren't in the wrong! Wanting a place to stay the opposite of a large city is completely fine! SF used to be nice once! Blame the tech people! ...I actually love Manhattan way better than almost anywhere on Earth though aesthetically so I'm not in your group.

Stop sucking up to landlords.

The problem is that in a paradigm where everyone designates themselves as the place where the big city thing isn't going to happen, then the only answer is actual sprawl, and that prevents anyone from living in the big city OR not-big-city locations. Omnipresent suburbia.

NYC's absolutely that place, though. ...okay fair though on the suburbia point you've described hell. ...But yeah there are tonnes of areas that are way looking for urbanization than SF. Chicago has something close to the right idea, I'd say. NYC's already more or less done it.

Nada. They're objectively doing well though in terms of "Get as many sky scrapers built as possible" though.

in Financial District and Midtown anyway, and there are more tall towers here than in most places, but NIMBYism is absolutely rampant in NYC and the tall towers are mostly office space, not living space
