I'm from the area, a little town about 35 miles away, but living in the Bay Area. The article doesn't really tell a good story about the folks living there. Just the ecentric people that have started showing up relatively recently. Maybe growing up there, but I actually prefer the solitude. The interesting thing about those few small houses is that you end up getting to know the people in your area and around you pretty well. Nearly everyone. So I wouldn't make the assumption that "it must suck". I could make the same assumption about any over populated area, like the Bay Area, because it's nearly impossible to really know your community and traffic is horrible. Ugh, it must suck to be an engineer working on some startup and living there.
