What nonsense. East Menlo Park near Facebook has vacancy, and it's just a ten minute drive away from Palo Alto. Or drive across the bridge an extra 10 minutes

What nonsense. East Menlo Park near Facebook has vacancy, and it's just a ten minute drive away from Palo Alto. Or drive across the bridge an extra 10 minutes from there and there is infinite room in Fremont and Newark.
A minor inconvenience could lead to a lot less burn rate spent on rent.
- joshu 14y agoPalo Alto != Silicon Valley. There's a TON of space out here. Millions of unleased square footage north of 101. Bah. Also, Palo Alto sucks.
- dsl 14y agoSilicon Valley is: Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley
- kapitalx 14y agoIt is extremely difficult to hire talent that is willing to move or commute to Fremont/Newark.
- cjensen 14y agoQuite true; people on the Peninsula side really hate the idea of commuting across a bridge. It's purely emotional though as the Facebook to West Fremont commute really is just 10 minutes of easy, scenic driving.
- joshAg 14y agoMy coworker commutes from fremont to sunnyvale. It is quite a bit longer than you make it seem, especially when there is any sort of accident.
- cjensen 14y agoTrue, but that is because 101 is jammed from Palo Alto to Sunnyvale. I commute across the Dumbarton every day, and it's just not a problem. Also, I was talking about renting in Fremont, which means you would be commuting on the Dumbarton in the anti-commute direction.
