Where exactly did you see this in Silicon Valley?
I mean, where in Silicon Valley would you feel like you're in some West Coast version of a Montclair, Great Neck, or Bronxville? There are some downtown-focused enclaves like Palo Alto, but it still looks much more Newport Beach or Scottsdale than Greenwich.
To me, Silicon Valley feels very Sun Belt, which makes sense to me, given the geography, history, and development history.
And, yeah, the premise of the thread is silly. SF will always be the employment center and primary core of the Bay Area.
