Hey I live and work in the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitian area now. Really.
little.yellow.different. explains.
"For those not in the know: according to the U.S. Census Bureau, we are not the San Francisco metropolitan Bay Area, but now the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan Bay Area.
To most people outside of Northern California, this means absolutely nothing to you. This would be like me saying "Durham-Raleigh" instead of "Raleigh-Durham," and then getting a flurry of angry e-mails from pissed off North Carolinans while my eyes glaze over.
And then I would argue back: No! No, how very wrong you are! Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose, the three main cities of the Bay Area, couldn't be any different! Apparently, it is my job to teach you, non-Northern Californian, about the nooks and crannies of the metropolitan area that I have lived in for the entirety of my life."
