You mean the people who live there are rude? Seems you'd be right at home! JK.

I think you're right, but not across the boards (obviously). I don't really like the vibe of SF much. It is hard to make friends. Although I really have a hard time believing it is ruder than L.A., unless you are just talking about the gay male population. I mean, c'mon!

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.
The bland suburbs...you mean like concord and pleasant hill and all that up there? I agree. I definitely consider Berkeley and Marin the cream of the bay area crop.
I can't wait to move, though.

P.S. Tower - can't you go over to the White and Gold thread and interp? I think it's getting out of hand...I've been waiting for you.
