True that. There's the other side of the coin though. South bay (excepting San Jose) is what you'd call suburbs. People who choose to live low density areas. Pa

True that. There's the other side of the coin though. South bay (excepting San Jose) is what you'd call suburbs. People who choose to live low density areas. Part of it is because of the employers. I, for one, do not like a lot of people around me, and I grew up in a city of > 15M. I like the low density. I think it goes both ways. companies in the bay area choose to headquarter in low density areas (so they can grow).
