The survey found that the Silicon Valley city outranks all others with the most robust “mom-friendly” lifestyle offerings like readily-available child care and day care, pediatric physicians and family fun. San Jose may outrank all other cities on the Mom-meter, but it also has the distinct honor of ironically being the city to outrank all others for forgetting mom on Mother’s Day.
