A state isn’t exclusive to the USA
I’ve been to San Francisco Airport in San Francisco
The map is so wrong mv touches the bay
JW.ORG JEHOVAH IS THE GREATEST.
The Silicon Valley is the capital of the Bay Area now, cuz with the influx of the illegal immigrants and asian pricks, we’re the largest city, we’ve got a growing international airport, we’ve also got MY SANTA CLARA FORTY NINERS (hopefully one day the team will be renamed) etc etc….here’s some totally useless knowledge: Silicon Valley was known as The Santa Clara Valley not too long ago, and before that, this area was known as The Valley of the Hearts Delight, and San Jose was once the apricot and prune capital of the world…
“Mare-in” county. LOL.
all I can hear is vocal fry!
All the butthurt coasties bitching about the wrong pronunciation of their overpriced shitholes.
This is why we hate you: pompus, vapid, whiny stuck-ups.
awesome content, bad voice all around.
your too fast
“The spiritual home of Numberphile” haha, that’s great. I love that reference.
-“Most of the fruits and vegetables you don’t eat.”
Do you mean because most people are not eating fruits and veg regularly?
I didn’t know “Oakland is a good place to live” lmao **rolls eyes** smh
Doesn’t know how to pronounce Marin or have any idea how expensive housing in Oakland is now.
Contra C-au-sta not c-o-sta
And Berkeley. Just google how to pronounce it.
CAUCASIAN ARE EVIL.
So the whole thing is Bay Area of San Francisco
First to notice
This is an outdated description of “Silicon Valley” and of the Greater SF Bay Area. As he based his description of the Bay Area on economic interrelationship, that’s now–as of 2016–a larger area. Last summer, the former 9-county Bay Area was upgraded to a mega metro region of 25 counties. The Silicon Valley description is much more outdated. Since the Nineties, Silicon Valley has extended, North-South, from Sonoma and Napa Counties to Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. West-East, Silicon Valley includes SF County to Sacramento County. That’s a basis of tech-biz interrelationships; there are SV companies and branch operations strewn throughout that expanse. Santa Rosa, Sacramento, Livermore, Santa Cruz, and Monterey, all host businesses that are as integral to SV as HP and Apple. That fragmentation aspect of SV history is part of what distinguishes SV from other tech regions. The internet supports such physical dispersion without isolation.
I live in San Jose which is the capital of Silicon Valley. Thank you for explaining this to people
Santa Cruz County is also Considered part of the Bay Area, as is (sometimes) San Benito County. I believe both are part of the CSA.
Cool little video but i just have to say it… If you are going to talk about the cities within the Silicon Valley… it would do you some good to research and make sure you know how to pronounce those names. You got wrong Marin, Contra Costa, and Berkeley to start with. Go listen to someone speaking of these cities and you will see what i mean. It was close but it kinda loses the impact when the city you are talking about is not pronounced how it is supposed to be pronounced. 🙂
I love that fast delivery. No umms, you knows, I means, or corny asides. High bit rate.
As a resident of the Bay Area, we consider Lake, Yolo, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties as honorary members.
First off, you pronounced so many names wrong that I can’t get into it. And Second, you will not be forgiven for mistaking Silicon Valley with San Francisco, they are about an hour drive away and it is really easy to tell which is which, one is a jam packed city with skyscrapers, and the other is a small spread out almost suburbs like area.
Its spelled country not county
1:27 RIP Club Penguin 2005-2017
pretty accurate
you messed up your maps. San Mateo county is much smaller. Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View are right next to the bay. It still has a coastline.
Correction: HP was started in 1939. Allegedly the first startup. They graduated from Stanford and rented a garage from their grandma in Palo Alto, on Addison avenue.
I think Santa Cruz county is both in SF Bay and Monterey Bay.
An asshole culture started by a bunch of assholes – makes complete sense

What about Pixar in Emeryville

The santa clara county map mistakenly map city owned water area (part of the bay) the same as land. So you see a much smaller SF bay.

I wish you could pronounce Marin properly.
