Meh. I’ve worked there as well and I think SSF has a lot of potential and it’s clear why:
- SSF has been welcoming new housing (see multistory apartments going up along highway)
- SSF has been welcoming businesses. The new biotech clusters are truly shocking, I’d guess another 5 million sq ft of office/lab space is new or under way. Genentech just submitted a plan to double their foot print.
- it has a decent commercial strip, obviously nothing compared to SF, but how could it be
- it has both a Caltrain and BART station, but your point is true about the locations not being ideal
If you’re a 20-something looking for cool restaurants and an ideal car-less life, then yeah, SF is better, but for the remaining 80% of the population, SSF offers a lot.
