It may not matter for some but it would matter for others, myself included. I live in cities specifically to avoid "commute zones". So a middle somewhere between the two comparisons is likely more accurate.
Still, the bigger highlight here is that there is a shift in tech jobs, and the focus is shifting a bit away from the valley relative to other cities/regions.
- WillPostForFood 9y agoRight but the same would apply to the NYC Metro area or DC, which are also sprawling areas with commute zones.
- pmiller2 9y agoExactly. The 5 boroughs of NYC are really 5 counties anywhere else. And people commute to NYC from NJ and CT sometimes, too.
- sbov 9y agoIt might make sense to separate SF from San Jose, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to separate San Jose from the south bay - San Jose borders some of these cities on 2-3 sides.
