(33,643 posts)All times but the summer, the weather is pretty awesome. There's stuff to do. Other than rush hour, traffic is pretty mild. Lots of parking. State taxes reasonable. We have a Dem governor and SoS.
C'mon down!
Of course, where I really wanna live is Orinda, CA (about 20 mins east of SF). I was there this last weekend, driving my lady around who's from AZ, showing her my old stomping grounds (lived in Orinda from 1976-1979 as a kid).
Freaking love that town, man. Costs a fortune to live there, but a man can dream, right?
Stopped at "Lake" Cascade (a glorified pond at the Orinda Country Club) to kill a few mins. This was the view in front of the bench we were on ... there were buncha ducks napping about 15 feet away on the hillside below us ...
This was the view of the houses behind us overlooking the 'lake' ... one on the right is probably built in the 1930's or so.
I gotta rep the East Bay in any sort of post about 'where should I live', y'all understand I hope
