Starting work at G Sunnyvale in Feb and I'm trying to decide where to live. I like walking to bars and clubs, don't really care about restaurants. I know MTV and Sunnyvale are shit for this and I should live in San Jose but I'm trying to stay within 20 min bike of work. So which one of these two have a more walkable/bikable "downtown" with a younger crowd of people. TC: 280
Palo Alto
Is it much better than MTV?
Yup
Palo Alto downtown is more happening IMO, although MTV isn’t bad as well. Rent is higher in PA though. Are you L4 at google?
Yes I'm L4, 4 YOE. Im thinking ill stay in MTV, close enough to work and PA if I want to check it out. 20m bike to work is kinda a hard requirement for me. I hate commuting
Downtown MTV it is then.
Holy shit 29 vs 3 votes! I never knew Sunnyvale was this much worse than mountain view, thanks blind for saving me from living there 😂
Have u considered that all Sunnyvale folks are still asleep after a hard night of partying on Friday night and all MTV homebodies are awake sat morning and on blind shitting on Sunnyvale. 😂 Jk. Sunnyvale is shit.
MTV is very close to Sunnyvale if u have a car
Downtown Palo Alto is great
Sunnyvale’s downtown is shit. Mountain View’s is better. Palo Alto and San Jose’s are the best in the Bay. Or you could go to SF.
Sf. All those places suck
I like staying late on campus, taking full benefit of all the perks and stuff. A long commute would kill that. I learned that the hard way when I lived an hour away from Uni and couldn't join any clubs, etc
SF is the worst city I’ve ever been to, nonetheless lived in. If you’re fresh out of school it might keep its charm for 2 years but after you step on the 4th pile of human shit and have your stuff stolen monthly, it gets really old. Everything is a chore in SF.
