Yes I work for a tech company , and recently moved from South Bay / Palo Alto. I too think this is not exactly Silicon Valley. My
local friends corrected me, saying east bay and South Bay are all part of the valley, particularly since most startups are now in sf and Oakland. And the proper South Bay is peninsula,.
Anyhow, glad I moved to east bay, life is little easier here. Son can go to public school. Still learning local customs and values. South Bay was a super life in a bubble story,
Thank you for the kind words, I’ll post some pics shortly, still learning how to best design, make use of the available
land. Have some
lawn and other not so effective landscaping elements that I have to think through .
