Whereas the term peninsula technically refers to the entire geographical San Franciscan Peninsula, in local jargon, "The Peninsula" does not include the city of San Francisco......The Peninsula has been my home for decades. I have lived many other places and this is my choice for Home. It is very expensive, but if you can get housing, it is the best place to live in the USA......A beautiful place near Silicon Valley, San Mateo County is expensive but has remarkable features. Places like Woodside, Portola Valley, Hillsborough and Atherton have 80% of the wealth, and 5% of the crime. Excellent police departments on top of problems.
