This is exactly how I feel when I visit Mountain View for work. Why are the parking lots in front of the store and not in the back? Why do I have to walk through a sea of parked cars to get to my building? It's all very strange to me.

I also noticed the suspicious looks for my terrible crime of not owning a car after dark.

My conclusion: not the place for me.

i lived near mountain view and did not notice this when visiting on my bicycle or the caltrain. sure, it's not the city proper, but mountain view seems rather quaint and really quite pedestrian friendly, at least in the area by the train station.


Try walking from the train station to the nearby Safeway. You'll be lucky if you even make it past the Central Expy.

Well, sure, Castro is walkable, but most of Mountain View isn't like Castro.


You own a day-only car?
