Looks phenomenal
Its more of a great place to live rather than vacation. Nice area, pleasent weather, solid restaurants, lots of job opportunities. Most of the Peninsula is like that
did you ever live there?
I live about 10 miles from there
I wouldn't spend a red cent in commiefornia
>I wouldn't spend a red cent in commiefornia
like you could afford it
lol. You know that's some dude living in a mobile home in Westchester Pennsylvania.
if you're looking for that type of aesthetic, you should check out Carmel instead. Carmel is one of the best small towns in the US.
>t pajeet
get the frick out of state rajeesh
Who do you think feeds you?
Not really a vacation place. The best ways to visit are on a business trip or to visit a friend who lives here. The price level (for even crappy lodging) may be a bit of a shocker if you aren't from here.
For the record, I love living in the region.
I stayed in Palo Alto to watch the College Football National Championship Game a few years back.
What other anons said: San Jose area is not really a vacation spot, but it is nice.
During my stay, we spent two days in San Francisco, 1 day near the coast (hadn't been to California much so it was cool to see the beachside cliffs), 1 day going to the game in Santa Clara, 1 day chilling in Palo Alto area.
Mountain View is one of many small towns lining the Bay Area peninsula from San Jose to SF. It's tiny downtown has some decent restaurants, but beyond that there are few redeeming qualities.
As mentioned, Palo Alto is right next door and is slightly bigger, being home to Stanford and Apple.
My favorites in the region were actually Los Gatos and Campbell - more or less the same amenities, but fewer H1Bs.
>Apple
Apple is in Cupertino you homosexual moron
Cupertino is a suburb of Palo Alto, moron
no its not you absolute fricking homosexual
I used to go there for work. My only real comment is there used to be a really good hummus place on the main strip. Otherwise, eh. It's the bay.
Are there more Indians there now than there were ten years ago?
I might be moving to the San Jose area, is living in downtown proper fine enough assuming I can afford it?
If by proper fine you mean witnessing homeless people having orgies in puddles of piss at 2pm then yes
thats fine I just dont want to live in endless suburbs and need to drive to do everything
Yeah I guess you wouldn't need to drive in theory if you lived downtown but public transportation is abysmal and just walking down the street is like wading through an open air mental asylum/ drug market. I mostly see tech gay troonyplants like you getting around on gay little electric scooters so maybe go that route and carry pepper spray and a taser.
I carry pepper spray in cities regardless but everything I see about san jose makes it sound quite uneventful on the whole , seeing homeless people sucks but it doesn't scare me or whatever
I dont plan on walking like 2plus miles to go places, downtown seems like it connects quite easily to the highways to go wherever you need to go out in like Santa Clara or whatever
it was either that or Campbell but I think that would be slightly more walking
Dude Campbell is wayyyyyyy better if you can live downtown. Downtown Campbell is super nice and also has a cool retro video game store.
Campbell looks really nice but it feels like the most opportunity to live is across the creek in Pruneyard or south down Railway ave and I wasn't sure if it was safe to walk to downtown campbell at night
>Pruneyard or south down Railway ave
That area is super nice. Definitely higher chances of getting raped by Black folk walking anywhere in downtown san jose at night.
What I wasn't sure about was that underpass right by the creek , nothing about the area gives me bad vibes otherwise, and reading lots of testimony about the area online
I would be commuting to Santa Clara for work which isn't far but I have no idea how traffic is there
Traffic is ass. Idk man overall both have pros and cons I guess but personally I'd much rather live around Campbell. If youre into more of an urban vibe with asian roasties then go with downtown San Jose. Walkability is something I almost never even considered in silicon valley because everyone just drives everywhere.
I'm from the suburbs in the midwest now and if I have the opportunity to be walking distance it interests me a lot, I dont mind driving , especially when everything you could want is quite close generally speaking, but it would just feel nice to be able to go drink some nights and not need to worry about driving home
I guess it depends on how much this position will ultimately be paying me , i know of the range but am not sure what they are looking to truly pay quite yet
I knew nothing about this area a few weeks ago but assuming you can afford rent it seems like a genuinely nice place to live all in all
>Downtown Campbell is super nice and also has a cool retro video game store
Is this a redditsoy parody or is this Black person for real?
What you don't like retro video games you fricking b***h?
That they are shit for cucksoys.
Downtown San Jose feels like a business park suburb but with riff raff and there's no amenities like groceries to get stuff without driving just shitty burrito shops for college students and overpriced hipster bars.
Yes
"The Peninsula" is a somewhat vague term used to refer to the communities on the San Francisco peninsula, but not San Francisco itself. So, this includes things like San Mateo County, as well as the northern parts of Santa Clara County. The line gets a little bit blurry around Palo Alto/Mountain View; most places south of Palo Alto/Mountain View are referred to as being in the "South Bay". Overall, the Peninsula is a very nice place to live, nicer than the South Bay, and essentially one of the "best" places on earth, but the better parts of it can be unimaginably expensive.
So, for the communities near Mountain View:
>Palo Alto
Home of Stanford. Good deal of old money here, as well as the obvious tech money. Essentially nothing affordable within city limits. Not a ton to do here, either. University Ave. is nice, but not too dynamic. Here live the millionaires.
>Menlo Park
Largely a bedroom community, just north of Palo Alto. Home of Facebook/Meta. It's also the global epicenter of private equity/venture capital firms, located on Sand Hill Road just west of Stanford. Homes/apartments here east of El Camino are actually somewhat affordable, but also less nice than those west of El Camino. East of El Camino you get more Mexicans, west of El Camino you get more whites.
>Atherton
Home of the richest, most successful VCs, as well as old money. One of the wealthiest places on earth. No apartments of any sort. Here live the billionaires.
>Mountain View itself
Pretty wide range of things. It has super nice residential areas for the Googlers, as well as less-nice but more affordable strip mall areas that feel kinda like SoCal. Home of Google/NASA Ames/Intuit/Adobe/bunch of other tech companies. Again, not a done to do here, but it's a nice enough place to live, if you can afford it.
>Los Altos
Very wealthy residential area. Generally speaking, these areas west of El Camino in the hills like Los Altos/Woodside/Portola Valley are pastoral getaways for the rich.
>Sunnyvale
Here begins what most would call the South Bay. You'll see more Indians, more Chinese, more H-1Bs in general. It's still a nice and safe community, but if you're a wealthy white American, you'll probably feel less at home here than you would in, say, Palo Alto.
>Cupertino/Sunnyvale/Santa Clara
Here you're deep into the South Bay. Home of Intel/Nvidia/Apple/etc. Lots of Asians/Indians. Very little to do, other than eat dumplings.
>Very little to do, other than eat dumplings.
?????
Bro there are tons of pockets in the south bay with rich white people and plenty of areas along the peninsula full of immigrants and even a full blown Mexican ghetto in red wood city.
Are you a pajeet who just googled "Where is google headquartered" then asked SighSee if you should visit?
yeah pretty much you hit the nail on the head anon. i really want to take job at google but I'm not sure i'm having the right credential. Also rent in the area is very expensive. maybe if I can move there and get a good job I can finally meet a nice white woman to start a family with
>I can finally meet a nice white woman to start a family with
you must be a gigantic pajeet or underage if you think the majority of employees choose to live close to their office, even more so in the US.
suburbs, commuter towns and cheap shithole neighborhoods are what most people have to settle for, and this also happens in latin america, europe and asia.
> a nice white woman to start a family with
yeah nevermind you're just a clueless shitskin
Shut the fricking up b***h your mother!
Yeah, the reality of the “muh prize Huwite wimmenz” is different from the fantasy.
Fricking incel kys
It’s the reality, don’t kill the messenger. Oh and there’s also picrel.
i kind of agree with her tbh. why do non-binaries make incels seethe so much?
You take it in the kiester, got it.
Silicon valley is one of the worst places to meet any kind of woman.
Indeed it is, there is not one of them that isn’t insufferable.
I dunno, you either live there or you're doing work there. I wouldn't really list it as a bucket list vacation spot.
Can someone give me an unbiased answer as to whether California is actually a good place to live? I could potentially be moving there for work within the next year but I have two general misgivings:
>cost of living.
I'd be starting at 40-50k which seems like that'd make me a poorgay in California.
>the social life/political culture.
I'm not a polcel or anything but I am of right wing bent and I just couldn't see myself clicking with radical progs. Having a social life is important to me. And I would like to find a friend group as well as a long term partner. Is the whole "commiefornia" thing legit or just a result of people being melodramatic?
>I'm not a polcel or anything
You will be after a few months. It’s one of the most beautiful states to live in without a doubt but the illegals, and various other browns that live here have killed the vibe. I’m not saying don’t live here though, just be prepared to see tent cities and zombie drug addicts everywhere.
>It’s one of the most beautiful states to live in without a doubt
yeah that's why I can't shake my attraction to it. It seems like an outdoorsman's paradise. Mountains, beaches, open wilderness, it has it all. I snowboard, rock climb, and I've always wanted to try surfing. You can do things like that on the east coast I just hear it's not as good.
>and various other browns that live here have killed the vibe. I’m not saying don’t live here though, just be prepared to see tent cities and zombie drug addicts everywhere
Well I live in the south east right now so it's not exactly a white ethno-state. I could put up with it if I could segregate myself with other whites. It's basically what I do now. But if all the whites there are obnoxious progs I may have to reconsider.
Damn, that bad? Even for a single guy like me? All things considered I live pretty frugally. I basically just spend money on essentials. Food, phone, internet, gas, car, etc.
CA is a big place - $40-50K might be enough to scrape by if you're N of Sacramento, but unlikely anywhere within 3 hours of the Bay, LA, or San Diego
Dude 40-50k in california is fricking rape. You will have to uber or work a second job to live somewhat comfortably. Unless you are living in far North CA.
If you like the Coof cult go to Mt. View.
