kidding ... again

hahaha yesss i have heard about some other anecdotes from users travelling to tech land for similar reasons :stuck_out_tongue: my dad is (was ?) a silicon valley business man (both of my parents are east coast transplants) that knew about the lack of females in tech so he really pushed for me to be in comp sci , which was GOOD because i found out in high school when i got at D in coding that it wasnt my path :smiley: i actually toured a school for compsci at the time and found my love for biology there instead but thats a story for another day ... i digress

we actually dont have any dunkins really :cry: we have one in the south most part of the bay that , when i woke up suuuper early one day i drove 30 min (towards) the sunrise to get a doughnut (service was awful btw for being the only one in the area lmao) but the reciept had my lucky number on it so i consider it to be the only time it was worth it hahahah . the only other dunkin is in the other beach town in half moon bay but thats more towards SF (i lived ~1 hr out of SF)

oh interesting ! must be cool to be in an area with a lot of housing haha , there are a lot of houses here too , so much so that its very easy to fill apartments here even with the crazy rent . students might rent out houses with their friends if needed but typically most students in this area live with their families too (i did when i went to uni here)

usually each house has a master bedroom with a bathroom attached , other than that every other bedroom will have a separate bathroom . a typical silicon valley house has the master + connected bath , one guest bath (usually only has a shower and not a bath itself) , and then 2-3 bedrooms . youre considered upper middle class if you can have bathrooms attached to any other rooms in the house :stuck_out_tongue:

personally i thought the housing bubble was going to pop sooner rather than later , but even with COVID and the recession people are still buying houses and renting ! though with houses averaging . 1 mil+ , i would say you would have to be very rich to get into the renting business haha so probably not all that lucrative

ex . we have a family friend renting out a silicon valley house since ~2005 to today , and i can imagine the landlord is makin some good money off of that !! but i bet the landlord subsequently bought that property for ~250k so haha . my close friends ' dad has 2 p
