SF's growth is limited far more by humans than it is by nature.

Seconded. Dogpatch east of 3rd is virtually uninhabited, and is a 15 minute walk from SoMa. Boggles the mind.

There's even semi-useful transit on 3rd!

That's a stretch :) taking the N back into the city is an exercise in rage suppression more often than not.

There is also the sunset which has good food, cheap rent, and the M, L, K and N to get you places.

But the issue here is there is nothing good in soma besides jobs. In the weekend, I don't want to go to soma. I want to go to Northbeach or the mission or the castro.

All that being said, I haven't lived in Dogpatch, so it could be fantastic.

Would you rather pay for transit twice a week or five times a week? And dogpatch is relatively nice, especially if you include Potrero Hill which is a short walk away.

Well, I don't commute to Soma but yeah, fair point. As I once was told, live where you work or where you play.
