Silicon Valley and San Francisco are two different things.

Most junior people in Silicon Valley live in cookie-cutter apartment buildings smack in the middle of a vast wasteland of anonymous subdivisions. Pull up some satellite views and take a look.

That's not desirable. It's just expensive.

I always lived near work, mostly with roommates. It's definitely possible to do, you just need to be willing to figure out a way. I would rather have a short commute than anything else, plus I prefer living with other people.

Thats something that has always amused me about the peninsula (other than SF). Other than the weather there really isn't anything remarkable about the place.
