oakland is not silicon valley

[GuiA → ryancouto]

Neither is San Francisco, but "Silicon Valley" in the collective mind is now synonymous with "Bay Area".

[Apocryphon → ryancouto]

The entire Bay Area might as well be Silicon Valley now. Uber is coming to Oakland and Tesla's factory is in Fremont. We're all part of the same high rent, dense traffic zone, together.
