Mid life in the bay area


30's are the mid-life crisis years in the bay area.

Its such a comfortable place. No wonder people itch to do something. The comfort is not comfortable. A good house, an assured future, a great car, a great loving family and a community of like-minded, aspirational young people.

All of this by the time you hit the late 20's. All of this is through one's own efforts. But there is more! The environment around you suits you perfectly, almost by design. Large parking spaces to accommodate cars at the CalTrain stations, wide roads, safe surroundings, very very employee friendly companies and a great sunny weather. Eutopia, yes. But the problem is, men (people) dont want eutopia. Men love the itch. And when there is precious little left to itch about, men find ways to create an itch to scratch.

I'll attribute 20% at the minimum to these conditions to the wonderful entrepreneurial environment in the bay area. People just want to scratch!
