First of all, how the hell are we supposed to figure out your definition of the Bay Area??? Considering I am a UC Berkeley alumnus and lived in what 99.9999999999999% of humans consider is the Bay Area for most of my life, I would think I know the area quite well, thanks.
My point was that there are plenty of markets doing much better than the "Bay Area". Let's put aside Manhattan south of 125th St. for a moment since that would be too easy.
Markets which are also strong include pretty much anything between California and Massachusetts that doesn't have a manufacturing base. This would include Texas, Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma, Nebraska, New Mexico, Georgia, Missouri, Kentucky, Washington...there are more, because I'm investing heavily in them, but I'd like to not waste any more time with you.
By the way, here's the link for San Jose:

Doesn't look too great. Or do we not count the Mexicans defaulting on their I/O's as Bay Areans??? |
