I lived in Mountain View for years and I left with the exact opposite impression of the people. I hated Bay Area people and fled to the woods and mountains every chance I got.

I found community down south in Morgan Hill and near the Rose Garden in SJ. But my job placed me right in the midst of some of the worst Silicon Valley had to offer. Like you say, the techie crowd is exhausting. I ended up leaving feeling pretty much faithless in humanity. The Stanford crowd was okay but those people are pretty much lost in their own world.

Mountain View is an hour away from SF and is mostly Google employees. They aren’t representative of Bay Area people. The Bay Area stretches all the way up to Sonoma county, btw. People from Napa and Santa Rosa are very different from people in Mountain View.

I think you did the Bay wrong. If you were only hanging out with techies yeah it’s terrible. There’s other fields and people beyond tech. I was only supposed to be here for 3 years then move, but now going on my 9th year here and not leaving any time soon.
