I’d argue the east bay has worse traffic
East bay has bad traffic because all the offices are in other places - if East bay has a lot more offices (tech) then there will be good traffic
Because East Bay is not Silicon Valley
Technically the valley bounded by two mountain ridges one being San Mateo and other being whatever mission peak ridge is on. Got seagate intel and Corsair, actual hardware cos that are more on Milpitas/ Fremont
Please - East bay is not Silicon Valley is such a wrong thing to say - you have a lot of hardware companies there . Don’t spread misinformation just because you have vested interest somewhere else
There is a first mover disadvantage in opening new offices. The talent pool is primarily in South Bay and SF and for most companies, they'd never make another campus in the area. So really you're depending on Google/Apple/Facebook thinking there is enough talent who'd pick them purely out of being in East Bay to make this office.
Lots of people moving to Oakland now tho
880 already has some of the most horrific traffic in the bay since 5 years. The bay is traffic everywhere like LA lol
It’s already overcrowded and pricey due to tech companies. They should open HQ2 in other cities. Leave alone the bay.
I would love east bay but i dont know where you would pur it. Park. Or the pricing.
Oakland
Unless people start rejecting offers because of commute, companies won't care. Also, leasing office space in Bay Area is fairly competitive, so commute will be the least important factor in their decision.
I also forgot, Facebook already has an office on Newark which is basically Fremont.
Even Tesla
If big software companies like Google also have offices say in Fremont, people will be driving against the usual traffic direction, and maybe spend less time on the road comparing to going to South Bay area like mountain view.
Then both directions will be jammed. Please don't.

I think most companies have HQ in the bay to attract talent.
Fremont is in the bay
