> Rents in SJ are like 2500/mo for a single bedroom in a newer building, but its not that great of an area tbh

Schools are better. Most techies are Asian or Eastern European immigrants, so school rankings matter.

That's why a house in San Ramon is much more expensive than a house in Walnut Creek despite WC being better connected by public transit.



Yeah for sure. I mean those areas are pretty far from each other (from SJ), but I get your point.

Personally I find the peninsula to be the best in terms of opportunities/quality of life/cost.
