San Francisco population: 815,201

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_International_Airport

"The 52.4 square miles (136 km2; 33,500 acres) of land occupied by the airport is more than one and a half times the size of Manhattan (33.6 square miles or 87 square kilometres). DIA is larger in land area (excluding water) than the US cities of Boston, Massachusetts and San Francisco, California. DIA occupies the largest amount of commercial airport land area in North America, by a great extent."

Isn't there also a giant landfill out there, or am I thinking a different area? Been a bit since I've been. I just remember the people driving us were very proud of the landfill and can't remember if that was when we were heading out to the airport or somewhere else
