When I grew up here, we’d play outdoors and with all our neighbors!! I hardly know our neighbors, I’ve attempted to get to know them, but they pretty much stick to themselves!! "

Plus there’re lots of natural preserves and the sea close by as well as everything you need in the towns and city. Business is booming in the Silicon Valley... makes it tough to leave!"
