The thing about LA is not that it is rude, it's just careless. People don't give a **** about anything down here and that might be misconstrued as rudeness, but it's really just indifference. San Francisco, on the other hand, is R U D E - as in bitchy-catty-snippy rude. Even the cable car drivers are rude!
If we're talking about driving road ragey type stuff (which I'm not), I think that exists in every big city with traffic.

Why not Oakland? It's right next to Berkeley, you know!  I actually think up to and including downtown Oakland is fairly cool, but try not to go beyond that. And there is a lot of slaggy icky munchies still in Downtown.

Oakland doesn't have enough of a "vibe" for me. I'm really into upscale architecture and natural beauty and Oakland ain't got that from what I've seen.

The bland suburbs...you mean like concord and pleasant hill and all that up there? I agree.

Hayward, San Ramon, San Leandro, Pleasanton, Livermore, Castro Valley...... BARF!!!!

I definitely consider Berkeley and Marin the cream of the bay area crop.
I can't wait to move, though.

I am ALL about Marin County- Kentfield, in particular. I have friends who live there and it is sheer gorgeousness. Berkeley is awesome, too. A good friend of mine's dad is a professor at UC Berkeley and I used to visit them waaaaay back when.
