Welcome to Santa Clara, in the heart of Silicon Valley! Home of too many tech companies to count, the 49ers, Great America, SCU, Mission College, and the best power company in the Bay!

Rules:

  • All posts must be related to the City of Santa Clara, or something that a resident of Santa Clara would be reasonably interested in. Most commonly, posts/crossposts about events happening in Sunnyvale, Cupertino, or San Jose will be allowed (within reason).
  • The one exception to the above is local politics. I don't care how many dogs San Jose city council members have ordered assassinated, if it's not happening in Santa Clara, it doesn't belong here.
  • Posts about the city of Santa Clarita, CA will result in an immediate ban.
  • Treat your fellow Redditors and citizens of Santa Clara with respect.
    • Just because you saw someone pissing in the street isn't an excuse to give the most insane, NIMBY-ass speech I've ever had the misfortune of reading (you know who you are).
  • Keep posts and comments as Safe-For-Work as possible; swearing in comments is fine in moderation, but try to avoid it in titles.
  • Lastly, all posts and comments must follow Reddit's Content Policy, with zero exception. Report content policy violations immediately.
  • We're good on eye exams, thanks. Offering eye exams to users is forbidden.
  •  

    Rule violations will result in your post or comment being removed. The mod team will do their best to provide a reason for the removal, but we are only human - please message us if there is any confusion over why you were subject to moderation.

     

    Repeat violators will be given warnings and temporary bans at our discretion. Egregious offenders and those acting in bad faith will be banned permanently.

    Hello Kitty Cafe

    Does anyone know if the Hello Kitty Cafe is open yet in Valley Fair? My bf and I want to go but aren't 100% sure if it's open yet. The website lists hours but I can't find anywhere online that for sure proves it's open.

    Area south of Nvidia - walking distance - safe?

    Edit - Question answered! Thanks everyone! Looking forward to this summer.

    Looking at a summer internship at Nvidia and would prefer to be walking distance. Is the area South of Nvidia safe for walking to work? What about at night? Looking at places off Monroe St. on both sides of San Thomas parkway. Also, it looks like the main way to walk there is using the San Thomas Aquino Creek Trail? Same question - safe to walk day and/or night? Thanks!

    Car Accident on Montague Expressway

    I was involved in a traffic accident at the intersection between Agnew Road and Montague Expressway around 5pm PST on Monday Jan 27. A white Toyota Tacoma ran the red light and T-boned into my car, causing a total loss of the vehicle.

    Insurance company contacted the other driver but they did not admit fault. I unfortunately did not have a dash camera or any unbiased witness at the scene.

    Does anyone have a footage of the accident? Please reach out to me as your help would be greatly appreciate

    Relocation salary/tips for non US person

    Hi everyone. I’m currently interviewing for a FAANG company and the position requires me to relocate to Santa Clara. I’m not a US citizen so its a big change and I want to be prepared just in case.

    Salary is the next thing to discuss.

    Knowing that Santa Clara has a high CoL: What would you consider reasonable/manageable for 1 person only (who’s also single)? I’d like to know some realistic net figures.

    Also which sites/ways do you recommend to find places to rent? Saw a couple 2-3k listings on Zillow that were a ~10min drive to the office.

    Any tips are appreciated! Thanks in advance

    Student House for 2,5 months

    Hey guys, hope you are all well!

    Me and my friend (I am 19 he is 20) are computer science students in Europe. Through our workplace here we will have the opportunity to go to Palo Alto to work at a big company as students. That means in general we dont get that much money because we are paid with europeen conditions. Our stay will be roughly from beginning from the 12th of May until beginning of August. But we are more or less flexible. Financially our big problem is the housing. Of course for the time period we gonna stay, we need to have some place to sleep, go to the toilet and cook in the best-case.

    We have never been outside of Europe and herefore don't know much about the housing conditions in California especially in Palo Alto. We would like to be near Stanford or Mountain View.

    Does anyone know any ways we could find affordable housing options for two people for 2 to 2,5 months? Websites, Adresses?

    Thank you very much for reading! Hope you all have a great life! Kind Regards The Greek and the German

    Testing for radon?

    Have you ever done a test like this for your home? Have you worked with anyone you’d recommend for testing or mitigation? Our area has “elevated” risk for it, and I was wondering if others have looked into this.
