The middle Peninsula used to benefit from being the central commute point between the creative talent that will only live in SF and the software engineers who want to live in SV. Some of the dot-com companies settled in the band between San Bruno and Menlo Park for exactly this reason (e.g., Oracle, EFI, YouTube, eBay, Tesla, EA and others). If the Peninsula had participated in the original BART JPA in the 1960s, who knows what it would look like today.

Do you know how long the train ride is?

It varies, because some of the trains are Baby Bullets. Here. The X factor is the time it takes you to get to the train terminal in SF, because unless you choose to live in China Basin, it's not conveniently located, and any commute that relies upon MUNI is, shall we say, contingent?

I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

I have no idea, but I can't believe that no one here thought of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Heck, no one even bothered to create a Not Generic re line.

I am ashamed of you all. Carry on.

My sister can get from her apartment in the Mission to her office in Palo Alto in the neighborhood of an hour. Most of the time she rides her bike to the Caltrain station, though sometimes she takes the Bart from Mission and 24th.

Helicopter is a nice alternative for the corner office folk.

As the economic downturn hits big law firms, resulting in layoffs and a few dissolutions, legal job seekers—and the people who help them find jobs—are also feeling the pain.The effects extend even to Harvard Law School......
