A little off topic here, but I have never understood the appeal of silicon valley in terms of a work location. I mean, I'd much rather work downtown in a major urban centre than in a vast industrial wasteland with no people, no food, no energy.
How about everyone else? I find I feed off of the energy of an urban core (in my case, Vancouver BC) when I work. When I worked in a business park I felt lonely and isolated. Does anyone else notice this?
- danw 19y agoTotally agree, business parks are horrible. Any suburban nightmare that requires a car to get around deeply irritates me. For a robotics lab it makes sense however. You're going to want space and easy access for deliveries.
- jey 19y agoSilicon Valley gets rave reviews because it's less boring than all the other office parks. It does have good food, and a lot of interesting people, and techie events, etc. But if you're looking for nightlife and actual local culture (in the non-tech sense), don't move to silicon valley. The impression I get is that Silicon Valley is a great place to live if you're a geek who is married and has kids.
