Predictions for Sunnyvale, Cupertino

Yes, easy to get 200k above list. Santa Clara is not a deal nowadays.

Isn’t Cupertino becoming a relative bargain now? It seems the price premium for Cupertino has decreased as Sunnyvale and Santa Clara have boomed. Cupertino schools are much better than Sunnyvale or Santa Clara.

From the school perspective, it is a bargain but the newer generation are either DINK or single who don’t care about school that much and prefer shorter commuting. Sunnyvale allows them to rotate amongst hi-tech firms or without changing houses or husband and wife work in different hi-tech firms.

Isn’t Cupertino just a couple minutes of driving from Sunnyvale? Why couldn’t they handle an extra couple minutes of driving time?

+1 on wuqijun. New generation gets older, too, most people still get married around age 28/30.

Asking a 60 year old man what do late 20s/ early 30s folk sthinks? Ok, I would attempt. Distance from Cupertino to Google HQ and PANW HQ is much farther than from Sunnyvale in Plymouth Dr area.

Somehow I get the feeling this isn’t the case. More like late 30s/ early 40s.

Maybe i made a mistake! (not)!

Americans are getting married later and later. The average age of first marriage in the United States is 27 for women and 29 for men, up from 23 for women and 26 for men in 1990 and 20 and 22 (!) in 1960.Mar 15, 2013

The trend is towards no marriage :slight_smile: just stay together :grinning:

If people get married at age 40, when do they have kids? It’s a serious social problem.

Main reason why birth rate is following fast.

It implied that the most recent marriage is later than 27-29 :slight_smile:
Say out of 10, 9 1960s couples are married at 21, the most recent 1990 couple would have married at 91 :rofl:

they can have kids before marriage!

Sex doesn’t always result in kids :rofl:

Shit! I thought it did! :slight_smile:

People get married late maybe because of divorce lawyers.

Lawyers will make marriage a scary legal pithole. If unmarried parents break up, they don’t need to go through a divorce. The kids might endure less damage due to divorce fighting.

If no one gets married anymore, divorce lawyers will starve to death. After that, people may want to get married and get married early. :rofl:

Also as more women work and earn enough to live on their own, marriage might lose its economic basis. Child support is based on biological connection, not the legal connection. Marriage contract mainly protects the non working spouse.

As more women work and more men stay home, we may have a decrease of marriage as well.

The root of the problem is letting women work and the right to vote. Many problems can be traced back to this.

Have you told your wife that?

Yes. I reminded her often.
