Reference: Credit Suisse, Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic Bank, Comerica, Key Bank, First Horizon to name a few.

Strong job growth, landlord friendly, low property taxes, cash flow opportunities, and proximity to one of the wealthiest areas in the world (Silicon Valley).

Influx of jobs and people from Silicon Valley and all over California. 

Surprisingly, as this bucks the narrative of thedownfall of Silicon Valley. yet even with the tech workforcedispersing.

. :(  I could have kept it as the home I bought in Napa Valley was a repo I got for 5k down in 91 deep recession NSo Jay here's the joke around the area ....in 1995 the joke is something like this 'You make 100k and you still can't buy house in silicon valley'.In 2010 the joke is ' you make 200k and still can't buy house in milpitas'in 2023 maybe the joke is 'you make 300k and still cant buy house in palo alto'.so what one should do is to make sure their spouse has to make 300k too, to be able to purchase house in palo alto LOL Life in tech city I think our buying power decline by generation over generation, the generation that was on top 10% tier in 1999, maybe able to purchase house in palo alto, but those older generation after two decades, is now belong to 30% top income group (no longer the top 10%), after Facebook/Google went to IPO decades ago, the new 20 years old is suddenly on the top 10%, they bring new money to area, acquiring house and houses, and so on...... so every generation is replaced by the new generation, in term of buying power.company like microsoft, facebook or google or apple stock is going to the roof, these company itself, represents the whole 30% of US Corporation market cap LOL , so we say that 5% employee of tech sector is literally occupyng 40% of the nation economy.

JIm,I my mind Jobs are a huge part of this  we look at company towns where factories close the real estate crash's on a big scale Detroit is the poster child.on the flip Side Silicon Valley SF penninsula same house you can buy in many markets in the mid west for less than 200k is 2 to 4 million in those areas whats the difference JOBS.. 

I guess now a days people put 4 beds in one room.. they do that in Silicon valley high tech flop houses, like airline personal have.Average pay back when I was exploring Ft mac was 90K so that has risen as well.

Make sure doors have door sweeps, bushes and trees trimmed away from touching structure, ac lines and pipes going into property are sealed (silicone or steel wool), and general holes into property need to be sealed (hydraulic cement is great for patching stone/cement and steel wool for everything else).Then to tackle the interior issues.

All of those neighborhoods are getting Silicon Beach techies moving in. 

If fed change course, it's known it would impact high-valuation tech non-sense.Thing is when these two gone default (Silvergate bank/silicon valley bank) it would create contagion, and stupidity such as the company can't pay their employee because all their money is saved at SVB or crypto holder can't trade USDC is an extremely stupid problem, because it shows the whole fundamental/banking industry can not sustain a crash from the collapse of the major sector.And all these things are predictable.
