smells like shit all over this city :/
Hm, the recommended salary seems sort of low for the area. Was thinking it would be $200k+.

True! Knowing your profession, where else are you going to go? Actually, you always struck me as a Houston guy. And it's not the Trump thing, I swear.I like a lot of places better than here too. Dat Bay Area salary tho....

What I'm seeing are couples making $90k+ each and they've convinced some of their parents to retire and live with them in order to take care of their kids without paying for childcare. Regardless, it's pretty rough to purchase now, even condos.

I agree, that sounds laughably low.
history's first recorded example of someone suggesting life can be enjoyed in the south bay

Uhhh.. so before i lived here i was in Houston for close to 30 years
Smells normal, don't have to explain to my kids why there's needles and rubber tubes on the ground, (more) affordable housing, doesn't take an act of god to find parking spaces, traffic is normal, very few brogrammers and hipster wannabes, and you can actually see trees instead of just cement everywhere you look
What's not to like

South Bay? Not if you're close enough to the Milpitas side for the landfill smell to linger over.

True that! Forgot about that.
Funny you mention this, someone literally took a shit in front of the restaurant I work at last night (Union Square area).
And it took BID like an hour to finally take care of it lmao.

Woah
This is what 2 of my friends have had to do. Except they moved in with their parents after having the child. Wife and I are lucky enough that we work for the same peninsula company and they let us move to the Sierra foothills and work from home so we can take care of our 11 month old.

Thunder and lightning all the way from the city down to the South Bay. Crazy.
I'm loving this weather. I hope we get more.
Don't be afraid of driving in this weather. The only way you can crash is if you're not being properly responsible.
Yes indeed.

Went out for a walk tonight while the storm passed and it was a sight to see. Last storm I remember like this was decades ago. Perfect weather conditions for hot rain and lightning/thunder It made me think I was not in california for a little bit today.
I really want some damn Homeroom right now. That place needs a secondary location run out of my apartment. If you haven't gone and you like mac'n'cheese you should check it out next time you're in Oakland.

Homeroom!!!! That's my shit!!!
Driving around 280 with the lightning strikes was pretty fucking awesome
Yeah, I was sitting in class when it started pouring. =\ Basically missed all of it, and I had a parka handy too in my bag just in case.
After the summer we've had I wouldn't mind if it rained every day for the rest of the year. Bring on the nice Bay Area winter, with lots of rain and perfect temperatures.

Happened right before I started my shift but there were cops and people everywhere. Never a dull moment in this town!

Even as kinda a transplant I've picked up hella. Kind of makes me feel more authentic.
Wow holy shit. Is it just me or is there a rise in shootings in the last 6 months or so?
Crazy it happened in such a popular area during commuter hours.
Likewise, I was on a trip and missed all of it. Got lucky when I left the area at the start of the heat wave.

Wow fuck that I used to live not too far from there.
Funny enough I stopped saying it after growing up here, said "hecka" then "hella"
But went to college in LA and got it beat out of me
Hella is pretty uniquely Bay Area in my experience. I've never heard it anywhere else and I've lived in a lot of different places (US and abroad). I kind of like it, it feels like assimilation when I use it and I tend to adopt mannerisms and figures of speech from the place I'm living in currently.

I can confirm people say hella in Sacramento, too.
When I worked at Disney World I heard girls from Kansas and Wisconsin say hella in a normal conversation. They had like no ties to the bay too. I had to do a double take when I heard it.
