Aren’t the Bay Area and San Francisco fundamentally different things with SFO just being the largest city?
Do tech people even primarily live there? The big corporate HQs do not seem to be in SFO proper.
- jandrewrogers 5y agoSan Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area.
- throwaway1777 5y agoThey’re not different but SF is only one piece. Tech people live everywhere. SF got a lot more big tech companies in the past decade but the rest of the bay is chugging along too. To me it seems many people who moved out of SF moved to the east bay or north bay.
- JJMcJ 5y agoSouth Bay, Silicon Valley in the old historical sense, is still a boring suburban sprawl with above average restaurants and high rents/house prices. Certain amount of extra package thieving but it hasn't changed much in the last 25 years as a place to live. The economics of area is harder to be sure about. San Francisco had reached a point of absurdity, and is poorly run for a city as well off as it is. 4,000 subsidized studio apartments would largely solve the homeless problem, for example.
