So Hollywood punches above it's weight in prestige then? That's basically what your saying, whether you realize it or not.
hahahaha Hollywood getting attention is not the same as prestige. Sorry.
Of course, you are totally free to think that if it makes you feel better.

Back on the prestigious topic. Tech is not prestigious. That's laughable.
Tech OWNS Prestige in 2015. You people are stuck in the 1980s. The Early 1980s at that.
WELCOME TO 2015:

"Silicon Valley is, in some ways, more important than New York and the financial sector, or D.C. and the political world,” said Venky Ganesan, managing director at Menlo Ventures. World leaders “see clearly that when it comes to just about any sector, Silicon Valley is eating them up.”
It’s not just world leaders who are interested in Silicon Valley. In March, ambassadors from 35 countries — including Kazakhstan, Gabon and Paraguay — toured the region to soak up lessons on how technology might contribute to their home economies...
Yeah, what else did you learn from the article? Im just dying to know. LOL
You sound like its an official government designation? lol
Sorry, but if we were to rank industries then Entertainment would fall well below Finance and Tech, let's keep it real. That's what I meant by ghetto, much lower prestige than the other industries.
Yawns.
The Bay Area OWNS this category without even trying. Sorry kid.
It's amazing that Los Angeles(Pop 18 Million) is smacked down by the far smaller Bay Area in a category so specifically pertinent to prestigious suburbs. The largest clusters of smart people who earn good money. San Jose ranks 3rd in the country, Oakland ranks 5th.

So as far as affluence, Malibu(5th richest in LA) would be 14th in the Bay Area and Beverly Hills(10th richest in LA) would be 24th in the Bay Area.
Anything else?
What about Cal Tech? Stanford is the most prestigious university outside of the Northeast and UC Berkeley is the best public university in the world.
You seem so preoccupied with me personally, word to the wise, you lose points for personal attacks. Makes you look petty.
Cal tech is always ranked higher. Income doesn't mean prestige. There isn't one person on earth that would say any Bay area suburb is more prestigious than Beverly hils or malibu. Probably not even Laguna or Newport.
None.
Zilch.

Oh look, someone sounds upset. lmao.
Youre not going to like this then. MAPS ARE TO SCALE meaning they are the exact same size.
Wealth is found on all sides of the Bay Area, and nowhere has more affluent suburbs than the Bay Area except New York(of course).

I wouldn't agree with this. Hanging out with celebrities is not prestigious in my opinion. Also Berkeley and Palo Alto are places that instantly come to mind when you think of prestigious towns.
