I've been in the Bay Area since the late 60s so a lot of what people complain about here doesn't really effect me that much. I bought my first house in 1974. San Jose was a midsized orchard town with a state college. Access to mountains, ocean, desert, San Francisco, Monterey/Carmel and greatest weather on earth with lots of decent paying jobs. I traveled a lot and considered moving a few times but nothing else came even close.
