Actually affluent and educated suburbanites are highly concentrated in SJs bland suburbia. San Jose has the nation's 3rd largest cluster of elite households:
Largest Contigious Clusters of Elite Zip Codes defined by at least 7 in 10 adults have a College Degree and the Average Income exceed $120,000
1 Washington DC
2 East Manhattan 3 San Jose
4 Boston 5 Oakland
6 Bridgeport
7 Newark
8 Chicago
9 North of Los Angeles
10 Long Island
11 West Manhattan
12 Trenton
13 Philadelphia
14 San Diego
15 South of Los Angeles
As far as #3 San Jose, we're talking an area that covers 437 square miles and as far as #5 Oakland, we're talking about an area that covers 240 square miles.
Seattle didnt make the top 15 so...
It's hard to believe that San Diego and Trenton beat Seattle here. I'm not doubting that it's true, it's just hard to believe.

Well, you can send your grievance to the Washington Post.
But I think a more likely truth is that you underestimate those areas. UC San Diego and surroundings combine academia, biotech and rich coastal areas, and Trenton is a wealthy metro area home to Princeton.

I never suggested they weren't so not really sure why you're basically repeating something you already said earlier, or what that has to do with my post.
Affluent and educated living in bland suburbia?? Get out! lol

And it's true, our bland suburban office parks are being sought after by tourists from around the world. Ive even seen them in front of the Palo Alto building I work in.

Well I'm not really, you just keep repeating random stuff that really doesn't pertain to my posts to keep the conversation going for whatever reason.
That's wonderful. I wonder when the double decker tour buses will start doing an architectural tour of tiny ranch houses and dated strip malls.

Seattle is not a segregated city neighborhoods are a mix of rich, middle, and low income. Seattle even did away with its housing projects . There mixed income there very nice neighborhoods .

Eh, I wouldn't totally agree with that. South Seattle is very minority heavy and has much higher crime and poverty rates, while the area north of the ship canal (Wallingford, Fremont, Ballard, Greenwood, etc.) is very White and much safer and more prosperous.

I think it's interesting that two of the five richest people in the world (Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos) reside in the Seattle Metro area, while the Bay Area has no one in the top 5.
Also, I'd argue that Seattle's economy is more diverse - the largest employer in the region is Boeing, then you also have retailers like Starbuck's and Costco, tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft (with major satellite offices for Google, Facebook, etc), and the two biggest real estate websites (Zillow and Redfin) are based in Seattle. Not to mention two major ports and a strong maritime-based economy.

That's nice, but the Bay Area has more billionaires than anywhere in the world except New York. No Seattle in the Top 20.

Id be happy to verify that. In the meantime the Bay Area's regional economy is more than twice as large and 3rd largest in the country.
