One brother in Dublin, the other in San Ramon (though moving 5 miles north to Alamo ... any day now).

The growth in Dublin/Pleasanton has been staggering the last 15 years. Where there used to be huge empty tracts of land, it's just ALL apartment buildings, even climbing up onto the once barren hills north of the 580.

It's a pretty ideal location for tech workers (apart from traffic SUCKING there most of the time these days) because it's about 50 mins to Silicon Valley, 20 mins to Oakland, and 40 mins to Downtown SF (at low traffic times at least). It's a nicely central location IOW. Plus BART goes there and takes you into the City relatively quickly.

Plus the Tri-Valley area itself has a LOT of big businesses, or at least big companies have offices there.
