I don’t think he really did justice to the microclimates. It’s not just the difference between 70 miles of San Francisco and Lafayette. Down the peninsula and have different climates in different areas, even one town away. Daly city feels like Seattle while 3 miles away in South SF. It will feel like Los Angeles. Burlingame is usually cool and breezy , just a few miles down in Redwood City it’s always blazing hot.

San Jose's got a lot of nice stuff too! And getting around is fairly easy what with the VTA buses and Light Rail!
@laurajones99563 ай бұрын
I live in the South Bay and used to live in San Jose. That’s typical. The South Bay always gets warmer and sunnier than SF in the summer months because it’s more inland. The Bay Area has microclimates. Heck, the entire state has microclimates. SF usually will get in the mid to high 60s in the summer along with fog. San Jose usually gets in the low 80s in the summer months as well as being sunny. If you go to the most inland parts of the Bay Area like Antioch, it will be as hot as the South East in the summer months with the exception of less humidity and getting cooler at night. That city would get a lot of days in the 90s in a year and some days in the triple digits. Here’s another example of the microclimates. Take for instance, Southern California. San Diego will get in the 70s in the summer. If you drive 2 hours east of the city, you will enter into a desert where it gets as hot as Phoenix.
@laurajones99563 ай бұрын
Strangely enough, SF is not even the coolest part of the Bay Area or even the most overcast. The coolest part of the Bay Area is Half Moon Bay which is south of SF. It gets more overcast there too. I’ll be lucky if I went there on a clear day. There’s a higher chance of a clear day in SF than in Half Moon Bay. Point Reyes also gets very overcast. That place is super foggy, even more than SF. SF is nicknamed Fog City, but Point Reyes is the actual foggiest place in California. It’s actually the foggiest place in the U.S. and the second foggiest place in North America just behind Grand Banks which is in Canada. It’s also the windiest place on the Pacific Coast. Point Reyes is the actual Fog City for me.

The Bay Area is pretty big. San Francisco itself has many different cultures. For example, San Franciscans from the Mission are different than the people who live in the Excelsior, Haight-Ashbury, the Marina, Pacific Heights, North Beach, Nob Hill, Tenderloin, Visitacion Valley and so on. Each and every neighborhood have its own character. Each city in the Bay Area also has its own culture. What I find strange is that many Bay Areans claim to be progressive or liberal but they are still stuck in their own little bubble. Violent sideshows and hyphy movement, unfortunately, are parts of Bay Area culture. There is progressive mindset is very dogmatic and a backward mindset where ghetto ratchet culture is being tolerated. It's just weird and oxymoron. 😬

Walnut Creek and Clayton are by far the best spots. Live there after you’ve had your fun living in SF. Or stay in SF and live in Noe Valley, Glen Park or Inner Sunset.

I just had clients move to Walnut Creek after living in SF for about a decade. They were hesitant to leave the city, but now love it there!

This video lacks honest commentary. Public transportation, especially Bart and Caltrain is slow and dirty. San Francisco is a crime ridden cess pool of a city from which several major retail stores have fled. Same can be said of Oakland which even made In-n-Out leave because of al the crime.

925 is not the bay and most 510 natives/long time locals (25 years or more) have that view. Because it's geographically not. That's why new people are so shocked when it can be 100 in concord and then 74 in Richmond at the same time on the same day. Y'all been fooled by the government definition of the bay. Same with Santa Rosa, not the bay. In general if the city is not touching san francisco bay it's literally not the bay. That's just reality.

Try hiking if you can't bike! I have been hiking the north bay trails for ten years, and the trails that prohibit bikes do it for a good reason, it just isn't safe with the volume of bikers and hikers using the trail. The great news is that the trails in the north bayuh are world-class and very numerous. Buy a map.

Spent my entire life in San Jose. The character has changed a lot, not really for the better. Bless your soul trying to paint the Bay Area as nothing but good. The long timers who know what to look for know it’s best days are behind it.

Nice, Thank you, a really good tool to show visitors to the area. Well done. The only part I find missing is the inclusion of Rohnert Park to Healdsburg, or at least Santa Rosa. Sonoma Valley is generally considered part of the North Bay, especially by its residents. If Calistoga in Napa or Dixon are deemed part of the North Bay, then omitting most of Sonoma County is inaccurate. If Napa and Solano counties are included in the North Bay, then most of Sonoma County should certainly be included as well. Thanks.

Thanks for watching. Yes, if I were to make the video again, I would include those areas in North Bay and stay consistent with county lines. After asking around, I found that the boundaries of each subregion are not agreed upon at all. Everyone has a different opinion. I agree that most people in those cities (Dixon, Calistoga, etc.) wouldn't consider it the North Bay. Also, I don't think people in Gilroy would say they live in the South Bay. Ultimately, I used the edges of the counties as the boundaries of each subregion, except I trimmed a bit off Sonoma County.
