> In the Unites States, That is denser than just about any place other than Manhattan.

I think that depends on your definition of "just about." Every borough in NYC aside from Staten Island is much denser than San Francisco. Additionally, many parts of where I'm from – northern NJ – are even more so: Hoboken, West New York, Union City (the densest city in the country), Guttenberg (the densest township in the country), and more.

If you're talking about cities larger than a certain size, then perhaps, but even then, I personally think it's a bit misleading to single out just Manhattan.



You're right, it is misleading to single out just Manhattan. But SF is the second densest large US city, after NYC (all boroughs combined).
