This is not good news! I use to live in Sunnyvale and it was great for the time. Orchards of oranges and fields of strawberries. As much as I know that you love living in the bay area, considering the ridiculous rents that they are getting there may be much greener pastures. Take a look around and consider all of the options (although I am sure that you have already done this). God speed to your bride and her quick recovery...

I had friends that told me stories about working in Sunnyvale, back in the 1930's, when they were kids. Their parents were from the Ukraine, and they lived on Potrero Hill, in the city. We called it Russian Hill, even though there is an official Russian Hill. They would take their kids out of school in May, to start the harvest. At night, when the sun went down, the parents would turn on the headlights of the cars to provide light for their children, to climb ladders and pick fruit in the dark, while the adults played the balalaikas, and drank vodka.
There are no roads in Sunnyvale that are in a straight line. As the orchards were sold, they would build county and city roads around the existing properties. Another story is, now that many Chinese live in the area, the Chinese are superstitious about straight lines. Evil spirits travel only in straight lines, so all our roads and streets are twisty turny! It must work, as I have not seen an evil spirit since I moved here in 1998.
