Overall, that's the difference between a city that relies on cars vs walking and is spread out vs dense like most of SF. It's getting much better though, esp with all of this infill.

Yeah, my GF lives in uptown. I'd say it varies depending on where you are in the central core. On the weekends you can still see a good number of people walking around Old Oakland or Lake Merritt and Uptown gets pretty busy in the evenings.
The area where a lot of this construction is is pretty dead, but hopefully that will change as more people move into the downtown area.
