The author is painting with a broad brush but some of it does resonate with me. Realistically most people I know are a combination of two or more of those "bay areas". Although I was not from the bay area "proper" as many "true bay area people" would remind me being from the most southern town in Santa Clara county :)
- 205guy 6y agoGilroy is the same distance from SF as Sacramento--and Stockton is closer. Also, Gilroy is not even in the SF Bay watershed. However, unlike many places in the Bay Area, it does boast a direct rail link to downtown SF. Not trying to exclude you, I've lived in San Jose and on the peninsula, neither of which was worthy of being stereotyped in the original article. It's better to avoid those games anyway.
- seiferteric 6y agoJust want to say, growing up, SF was not the center of the universe in the bay area. If anything the south bay seemed more of a draw and I spent plenty of time in San Jose, Maintain View etc.
