Cambridge and Boston should be together, but Silicon Valley and SF shouldn't. I could walk to Cambridge from my house in the city of Boston. There is no way I could walk to Palo Alto from SF.

Yes. Big difference between 20 minute walk and 2 hour drive.

I've only seen Utahans measure distance in time.

Silicon Valley is ~ 1 hour train ride from SF...and a faster drive (when there is no traffic).

I have to question if you've ever done a SF -> Silicon Valley commute. There's always traffic, and the Caltrain station is inconveniently located for most of the city, which means you need to tack on time to get there. Additionally, most SV offices aren't that convenient at the other end.

Lol. Good one!

It should be "Eastern MA" given the large number of technology companies outside of the city but inside Rt 128 & I-495.
