For lovers of "Palo Alto is about to become Hong Kong/Kowloon", here's another in the installment. Guys - we're at the tipping point. Palo Alto is already at 2,808.46/sq mi - that's practically Hong Kong's 17,552.3/sq mi. TREAD CAREFULLY. OPPOSE EVERYTHING.

Anything less than complete Hong Kongization is a failure (the inclusion of outdoor escalators is non-negotiable)

Though nitter.vloup.ch/alfred_twu/statu… (and rest of thread) makes Hong Kong seem a little less appealing. (I'm still a fan of Paris and Taipei.)

Highrise zoning (40+ floors) in Singapore, Hong Kong, San Francisco, New York, and Miami. The US cities are denser, with floor area ratios of 10-20, vs 8-10 in Singapore/HK (though bedroom density is similar due to larger rooms in the US). Details of each city in thread. 7/
