Having visited the bay area from NYC, the point about travel time (1 hr on average) is useful. Before visiting the area, I had heard that things were more stretched out than on the east coast, but I still underestimated how much time we'd spend in transit.
In NYC, I take a lot of meetings (more than 5 a week on average), but rarely need to spend more than 30 minutes in transit. I'd guess the average is closer to 15.

Down in the Metro DC area it's not uncommon to spend 30 minutes to an hour travelling between meetings. In that way Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia are very similar to SV.
