Most are either a) private housing communities (Google would need permission from the community to install anything on the light posts), or b) very tall buildings such as banks, churches, multi-story offices, and medical centres.
If you're really interested, I can make a weekend out of biking around and taking photos of the areas where there's missing coverage. Based upon what I know of the area, Google's coverage is lacking due to the above reasons.
P.S. -- If you're interested in the region, I can start you out with Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus, Google's HQ, what used to be SGI's main HQ, VeriSign's buildings (which used to be home to Netscape back in the mid-to-late 90s), Best Internet (largest shell provider back in the mid-90s), and Oppo (manufacturer of one of the most popular diverse DVD players on the market). Can't think of any others off the top of my head right now, other than Sun and AOL/Netscape, although Sun has offices randomly all over the place, and AOL/Netscape is boring.
