Lots of people want to live there. But do the people who live there (and own property there) want lots more people to live there? Not really no.
And in some cases definitely not anywhere near them.
Cities work well at a certain size and population, but the services and infrastructure never get upgraded to match big increases in population like tower blocks.
Not to mention the view from people's houses across the bay will be gone as soon as high rises are built.
If I'm happy with the status quo & I have lots of money, why would I ever stop doing everything possible to maintain it?
