Wouldn't Sunnyvale be at most the second largest city, behind San Francisco?
- ChuckMcM 12y agoIts an inside joke, there was a lot of 'cachet' associated with being a 'peninsula city' (like Palo Alto or Menlo Park) and folks would define the peninsula ending at Mountain View, and Sunnyvale being the start of the 'South bay'. Generally meant about a 15% difference in home price. (Mtn View/Sunnyvale). However since 'south bay' is associated with San Jose (which is a nice, if rather boring city compared to San Francisco) there has been an argument for at least 30 years as to whether or not Sunnyvale is a peninsula city or a south bay city. Everyone agrees that the center of Silicon Valley is somewhere inside Sunnyvale but that is about all they agree on.
