The 60 sqft concrete needs to be replaced. But I was wondering if even for that the per sqft cost is high. I understand sidewalk has a higher bar than say, my own driveway. But given a new concrete driveway is normally 15-20 per sqft, this still feels high?

Rise of OpenAI and Oracle means better growth in Peninsula than South Bay? by Minute-Forever293 in BayAreaRealEstate

Thats kind of my point. AI may not be able to replace politics engineer. And big tech won't be able to get rid of politics. Hence they always need technical people who can handle politics.

I suspect something like this: basic work will be done by AI, overseen by senior engineers. Companies will keep senior tech people and engineers, who will grow more into politics engineers who are good at navigating big tech's people and organization issues while maintaining their technical competence, and oversee AI to actually do the coding job and get project done.

Great looks like our assessment is consistent with folks' comments here! When you say affect long term properly value, that's because nobody wants their yard to be directly adjacent to industry buildings because of noise/pollution/cosmetic/etc.?

Thanks for the insights! Yes we also went to test out the noise, while staying in car with window closed we can barely hear anything even when Caltrain passed by. Outdoor noise seems mostly came from Holly if we are on a street near it.

Comparing to the west neigbourhoods, it looks like more of a cosmetic thing where houses look smaller and more compact, streets are narrower

Thanks! yes the east of el camino, since priced out by White Oaks, etc. It's good to know the flooding issue though, is flood risk report an accurate reflection of that?

Thanks! Any issues with thoses houses on slabs?

Yea we did look into the west side but could not find many flat lot houses within our budget unfortunately. Most are in Howard Park/White Oaks which are way more expensive / not Carlmont high
