The vast majority of those cities' area are NOT skyscrapers, or even 5-8 story buildings.

Uh, just cant let it go, can you.
First of all, I never said anything about skyscrapers.
Seocndly, I said 3-8 stories, not 5-8 stoires.
Thirdly, you forgot the part where I call midtown "urban" because of its businesses, restaurants, etc.
The buildings and houses in SF are all right next to each....makes a big difference regarding density and SF fits the bill of 3-8 stories in 40% of its neighborhoods. Chicago is wide and big and there are many, many neighborhoods that fit the 3-8 story pattten.
The point is: Besides downtown, Midtown is our most urban/dense neighborhood, yet its only 1-2 stories average.
Dont you just love the new Calstarss building in WEST SACRAMENTO. I wonder if they will light it up at night like the pyramid building?
