I live in L.A., I'm used to driving through the showy neighborhoods like Beverly Hills, Malibu, Hollywood Hills, etc. Kind of blase about giant houses and estates at this point. But when I went through Woodside the first time, I definitely had a mental Whoa! moment. Some of those places felt crazy off the scale. Maybe it was just the surprise of it, since I hadn't really seen that kind of estate anywhere in SV before then. Or maybe the woodsy aspect of it (even the billionaires don't get that kind of forest in LA). But it seemed like big showy displays of wealth to me.
