Allan from Fallbrook
ParticipantBG: I grew up on Silicon Valley and my dad worked in Palo Alto. They don’t call Santa Clara county “The Fortress” without reason.
My dad bought the house I grew up in (Los Altos) in 1966 for $22k (which was considered expensive) and sold it when he retired in 1989 for almost $800k. That same house recently sold for about $1.5MM. Unbelievable, but that’s the RBA (Real Bay Area) for ya!

ParticipantWell, really if you’re in tech, the time to go back to the bay area is now…..
The socal economy is trailing the norcal economy pretty bad…And employment is looking reallly good up there….I’ve been really tempted to move back…Reaaaaaally tempted….
When I was at google io in May, it’s it’s just different…Bunch of startups, bunch of energy and excitement….
San Diego….Dead…Just dead……Well, we got the nice weather i guess. I mean it’s not *bad* like in L.A. but not exactly incubator heaven here either….
Bay area housing in the valley (on the west side) will always be in demand…Because really in Bay Area, there really is a housing shortage….
I predict NorCal economy will be leading SoCal for the next 10 years….SoCal is going to be going nowhere for the next decade…
Allan,
According to my parents…A house in FosterCity was like a joke back in 1908 …Who wants to live on a marshland that is manfilled and a fake a lagoon….In 1998 when I looked, “waterfront” property there when I looked in 98 was $800k… I can’t imagine how much it is now…..June 15, 2011 at 3:46 PM #703900Coronita

ParticipantOr you can just do like me and work for a SF startup from the comfort of your home in sunny San Diego. You get all that excitement, intellectual stimulation, and tech-sector-startup-money without all that fog, cold , mist, moustached-hipsters, and stinky bike messengers.
SSH/SVN/Skype/Basecamp/GoogleApps FTW!
