How about that. The biggest city in the bay area is the least well known. San Jose has the most absolutely pathetic excuse for public relations in the entire world.
They might as well just split it up into a bunch of small cities or just deannex portions on the edge so it won't have the pointless distinction of being bigger than San Francisco.
That’s a little petty. San Jose doesn’t need PR. There’s a housing shortage in CA as it is! Being unknown but successful is probably better than being infamous (Oakland), or better than successful and famous (SF) with outside scrutiny teasing you about everything.
Oakland, but Silicon Valley with San Jose as its center is better known than Oakland or East Bay.
Few associate Silicon Valley with San Jose. Most probably think it’s some suburb town in Orange County. I don’t anyone outside of California has heard of East Bay.

Right, which is why San Jose is less well known than Oakland. However, the subregion of the Bay Area that San Jose is the core of is better known than Oakland or the subregion of the Bay Area that it is a part of.
I doubt most anyone could name any subregions of the Bay Area (unless San Francisco is a subregion). But yes, Silicon Valley is famous. But not really in relation to San Jose.

The East Bay is a pretty well-known subregion, even outside the Bay Area.

Exactly. I assume most Americans have heard of San Jose and most of them know it's near SF but most of THOSE people probably think San Jose is a smaller city and a suburb of SF.
I can just imagine there are people in San Jose who boast about living in California's 3rd largest city. Lol. Most people in the world undoubtedly assume San Francisco is California's 1st or 2nd largest city. They would probably draw a blank if you mentioned San Jose or even San Diego.
That's why I think SJ should split into multiple municipalities.
When you're never in a million years going to change the perception of your city, might as well make it fit that perception! Lol

No its not. Outside of the West Coast the average person doesnt know anything about teh East Bay. Truthfully they have heard of Oakland but not much more other than that.
East Bay is about as well known on the East Coast as the Hudson Valley is known on the West Coast
