Is this still the case? I could sort of see this in the 60s, but present day, living in the bay area it feels pretty home-owner-associationy. In Oregon in the city we had neighbors who performed a ritual pagan goat sacrifice in their back yard -- I kind of don't see that flying in Palo Alto.
- edblarney 10y agoPoint taken. Less so than before, but it's still fairly weird in many areas. LA and the Bay both have odd sub-cultures and not-so-far out of the city you get some fairly hippy types, but it depends on a lot. Palo Alto I don't think has ever been quirky. But yes - maybe Portland is the new SF :)
