Agreed, it's much easier to pick up talent there.

The information is a bit outdated on the "Highest Rents". For an Apartment, yes. For Office space, Sunnyvale/San Jose is not even close.

There's over a million square feet of vacant commercial space within two miles of Tasman and First Street in San Jose. Samsung and Cisco both sit at that intersection. Aff is about 4 miles to the west.

I moved my companies offices to Metro and First street, four miles closer to downtown San Jose two years ago because Samsung wanted $1.90 to renew our lease. I'm fairly certain they actually wanted us to leave.

I picked up a five year lease with four months free rent and the landlord paid for buildout. $1.53 per Square foot.

AFF's office over in Sunnyvale sits back in a business park. The building is nice inside, but not that new. I'm pretty certain their landlord accomodated them with a price closer to market rents rather than lose them.
