Discussion
TiredCactus: If you're in your 20s live in SF and sell one of the cars. The burbs are great for families and painfully boring for everyone else.
jake.a64: Daly City in D because I lived there a year and never saw the sun once
TiredPanda: Mountain View in S, sure, if you work at Google
throwaway56834: Nobody lives in Fremont for the vibe. Good schools, cheaper than Cupertino, BART to everything else.
FeralNoodle64: San Jose is the biggest city in the Bay and somehow has the least to do after 9pm
TiredWalrus: Vallejo in F lmao fair
