A Silicon Valley nudist resort is on sale for $30m
I am thinking of moving back to the Bay Area. Maybe something smaller and cheaper.

The 112-acre Silicon Valley property became a retreat for members of the “naturist” movement in 1935. Today, its hundreds of members enjoy the resort’s clothing-optional hiking trails, pickleball court and its nude-only community pool. (Yes: the members really do hike naked.)
But the family-owned Los Gatos resort is now on sale for nearly $30m – and any buyers of the northern California property are likely to abandon its nudist roots.

Under a new owner, Lupin Lodge might return to its pre-1930s history as a vineyard, or be transformed into a high-end rehab center, a luxury RV park or a wedding venue, Pollifrone, the property’s realtor, said. At least one school in the Bay Area has explored purchasing the property as an additional campus or retreat space, he said.

Always fun to visit the area. When I first interviewed in CA, coming from the east coast, walking around in shirtsleeves in December was something else. I landed in Redwood City in 1980, and the FortyNiners practiced a few blocks away. Good timing. I commuted on the Foothill Expressway, (I live in the Sierra Foothills currently) and there would be Maseratis and Lamborghinis next to me. At stop lights. 
All memories subject to correction, since it was a very long time ago. But all positive. (well, there were a couple of really awful jobs along the way).
and he consulted with the board of a nudist association.
Yes, they had board meetings naked.
No, he didn't unclothe. He told them that his employer expected him to wear a business suit to all meetings. But actually, you know, he just... didn't want to.
