The negative descriptive words that come to mind when I think of Silicon Valley are: arrogance, pretentious, greed, overcrowded, overvalued, and stressful. I have some positive words too, but this topic is centered on the negative. Here's a very personal take on the subject...
My wife and I grew up there and spent most of our adult lives in and around San Jose. Having worked in the tech industry in the late 90's early 00's, mostly for a great little start-up company, I had a lot of fun and fully embraced that "cool" Bay Area vibe. My wife worked for a few tech start-ups as well. I still consider myself to be an entrepreneur and still know many people with that same spirit who live there. We moved out to Denver for several years and have since moved to the Roseville/Sacramento area and visit the Bay Area often.
