San Jose, the largest city in
the Bay Area, wasn't really considered a desirable place
to live prior to the tech boom. During the late 1990s,
however, as housing prices rocketed along with the stock
market, it became just as expensive as its northern
neighbor, San Francisco. Now the city is left with a
6.8% unemployment rate hangover, and housing costs are
still among the highest in the country.
