[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not SF proper, but the entitlement crown goes to Silicon Valley burbs like Atherton, Hillsborough, etc. [/quote]

True. My mom grew up in San Mateo and it is awful there now.[/quote]

Yep. Hillsborough was founded as a haven for the rich limousine liberals who wanted the benefits of SF without the "undesirables" right in their backyard. [/quote]
I used to live right around there a few years ago.  *Many* of those in Silicon Valley, SF, Peninsula aren't long time residents. Most are transplants. So, if the area is out of touch, then it's the out of towners that are bringing it to that area.

The PP who stated that the young people who have only worked at those high tech companies with lots of perks are definitely out of touch is correct.  I've worked in those companies for over 10 yrs, but I'm in my late 40's, and I've worked at non high tech companies in other parts of the country, too.  Those people are definitely clueless regarding how life really is for majority of the people in this country.

But, the older ones like myself aren't clueless about the col and the realities of life.

I find those who grew up and still live in the DC area are a bit out of touch, too.

Someone I know from NYC told me that many in NYC feel that the world revolves around NYC.

I don't which area wins overall.[/quote]
