and jobs migrated as well:
HP to Corvallis (OR)
IDT to Portland (OR)
Linear to WA
MXIM picked up a facility in OR as well
LSI to Gresham (OR)
National to Puyallup (WA) and Salt Lake
Zilog to Nampa (ID)
Cypress to MN
Novellus to Tualatin (OR)
and the list probably goes on and on

There was a huge exodus of manufacturing/Engineering out of the "Valley" 15 years ago -
WHY?
Of course the people moving "inflated" the housing market

BUT the projection is that over the next decade more people move into the Bay Area

Etchmeister, I'm wondering how you folks in the big
metropolitan areas of California are able to purchase
real estate. I think I read that the median price of
a small home in San Jose is about $500k.... The husband
and wife must both have to work hard to support their house
and the cost of living there. I also seem to recall
hearing about 40yr mortgages some years back. Simply
amazing. BB
