[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP one other thing: San Jose (the entire South Bay, for that matter) is very spread out making a car (or access to one) very necessary. [b]I find the entire area a bit soulless[/b], myself. It's driven by job status and money. How much you have, not who are you. It's a lot of smoke and mirrors, but I live to authentically me so I would never fit in there.[/quote]

The reality is that while there are quaint little hamlets in SV like Palo Alto...the area is really just office buildings and strip malls.  It's ugly and really kind of sucks, though it is close to great beaches, mountains, etc.[/quote]

The DMV outside actual DC is way worse in my opinion. Horrible architecture, Frankenstein architecture, burb malls etc.

I’m not a fan of the $$$ peninsula towns like Palo Alto, Menlo, etc. For South Bay, I’d agree that living in Sunnyvale is like living in an office park but so is Fairfax VA. Campbell, Saratoga, Los Gatos or areas in SJ/SC like Willow Glen, Cambrian, RoseGarden etc are really cute. However, none of these areas are of interest to a college student.

For a college student, they’ll hang out in downtown or maybe go to Santana Row or Valley Fair if they want to go to an upscale shopping and restaurant area. [/quote]
