thank you!

Yeah When I would vacation out there I'd stay in the City and take the Peninsula Train down to San Jose for a Day trip I'd dress in layers cause San Francisco was usually cold and foggy 🌁 in the mornings but usually by the time we got down to Redwood City the fog would break off and it would be a nice sunny ☀️ day in San Jose! San Jose's got a lot of nice stuff too! And getting around is fairly easy what with the VTA buses and Light Rail!

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.

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.

Yes, it was quite surprising when I first moved here!

But they constantly stay the same. San Francisco and Marin are always cold and foggy. The Eastern reaches are always hot and sunny, or rainy. You don't have 5 min flash floods or hailstorms out of nowhere. You don't even get real temp rises and drops much either.

Thanks for the terse vids Zach. I stumbled upon your posts via my grandma's KZfaq. KJ

Thank you for watching!

peninsula is great if you make 800k a year and are here on an h1 visa, other than that no one can afford it.

I’m glad to hear that and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I live in San Mateo......😉

I have lived in the East Bay for the vast majority of my life. I always say Bay Area/East Bay depending on who I am speaking with. I didn't know I lived in an undesirable area. 😐

I live in Windsor. I loved wine too much!

​@@kevinblatter2369I'll be coming at CSU East Bay as a graduate student in the US this fall. Would love grab a cup of coffee with you someday Kevin :-)

Not true for Berkeley, or Orinda or Moraga, or Marin and some of the sans like San Rafael. It also depends who you’re talking to. If they’re from the area then you can’t just say Bay Area that would be ridiculous. But I get what you’re saying.

I thought it was SF tech bros and homeless, peninsula, tech families and CEOs. Southbay., wannabe gangsters and jr tech bros and East Bay, all the criminals that rob stores in SF and blue-collar people that build landscape all the houses on the peninsula.

Thank you!

Jeez frost wind you look upset. You can let it go now

The smart people in the North Bay decided they don't want Bart to bring criminals to their neighborhoods

Not a chance! Take ferry if you want to

Unaffordable even making over 160k

@@DanielVazquezWife and I retired in 09 making 200K. 2500 SF houses Union City in East Bay around were pushing 1 Mil. Now around 2 Mil. First house we bought in 80 was 100 K - now about 850.

You must be absolutely careless with your money if 160k isn't working for you

Most unaffordable too, go figure

@@samrusoff Supply and demand. Great location = high demand.

Pacifica is such a nice area! I love going biking/hiking there on the trails with ocean views. I bet it was a great place to grow up.

Are you THE Johnny Silverhand?

@@livinginthesfbayarea I love sitting on the cliffs on Pacifica.

Grew up there as a child in the 60’s. Linda Mar was all new . I thought all the kids in the world rode their bikes to the beach. Last time I looked the house was 1.75 mil.

Thank you, I appreciate that!

San Jose is kinda similar to LA but without beautiful beaches. East San Jose is very boring. 😒

Yeah I have that thought too! I sometimes jokingly refer to it as 'LA North!'

And the scenery of Western Oregon/Washington.

Lol im from there holy shit that’s accurate 😂

Lol, ok, fine, that is accurate. I'd say that the NIMBYs are a hair crazier in Marin and there's a lot more millionaires and billionaires in Marin than in Berkeley. But overall, that's a spot-on description.

Marin has always struck me as having the widest gulf between how they market themselves (“OMG I’m so progressive!”) and how they act (“ your surname ends with a vowel… GTFO or I’m calling the cops!!)

That's a shallow comment

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. Good luck with the move!

Sorry, a million dollars is a down payment around here

@@Eric_In_SF that sucks player. I lived in Pacifica and Redwood City in 90s and you couldn’t pay me to move back. I saw it going a bad way and got out. Godspeed.

I agree it's underrated!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, even within SF there is quite a bit of variation. Layers are key!

Thanks for watching and commenting! I love living in the Bay Area and a lot of the people who talk negatively about California don’t even live here. Of course there are downsides, but overall the Bay Area has a lot to offer.

@@stardrifterinternational Not at all 😂 We’re talking Miami-Dade County, which is growing at a crazy rate. The Bay Area altogether is more populated than the South Florida tri-county area (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) but South Florida is overrated. Looking at facts, a few years ago San Jose was more than a million, right now they’re somewhere in the 900K range. I don’t know how quickly San Jose’ population is decreasing, but Miami is doing the complete opposite. And for any apartment or house that goes up for sale or rent, that spot gets filled quickly!! I’m a lifelong native here, and to be honest (and I know this sounds backwards) but the only places in Miami that I like are the hoods. I stay away from the overpriced, overcrowded façade of South Beach or Brickell. Lol. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

@@stardrifterinternational I never took it as attacking. Lol. We’re just stating facts. Haha. Also my opinion, because quite frankly Miami is full of sh**heads hahaha. I know the Bay Area altogether is pricey, but I’d probably move from Miami (at least for now) 😂

I was looking to buy in that valley for new construction before eventually settling in wine country (was applying for agricultural region careers). That area is beautiful beyond words!

I've recently been talking with more and more people who are interested in Fremont.

I've driven through La Honda going up towards Woodside!

Ive been there once getting to Blue House Farm for strawberry season, lol.

I made it in google my maps. Send me an email if you want a link!

Part of it is considered the Bay Area (it actually touches the bay), but not the whole thing.

I’ve been pronouncing it wrong for a while, thanks for letting me know!

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!

My niece lived in Noe Valley and she loved it.

@@3ofus135 Yes, Noe Valley is a great neighborhood!

Yes, dressing in layers is crucial here!

@@livinginthesfbayarea Lived in the Sunset and Lake Merced for 4 years. Travelled around the city and the Bay daily for work. Carrying half my wardrobe around to combat changing weather got tiresome.

Some maps included it, and others didn't. I was surprised how many conflicting maps and opinions there are around the borders of each subregion.

@@livinginthesfbayarea Bay area = 9 counties surrounding the bay

@@livinginthesfbayarea All of Sonoma County (including Santa Rosa) are politically part of the Bay Area regional Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO): Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and member of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). Furthermore, Sonoma County is included as part of Caltrans District 4.

Oakland is indeed cheaper then san Francisco. Go look up renting charts for the bay area

@@user-mt5uu4pz4j kool beanz. now get a home at Blackhawk son.

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 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.

Solano County (including Fairfield, Vacaville, and Dixon) are politically part of the Bay Area regional Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO): Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and member of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). Furthermore, Solano County is included as part of Caltrans District 4. Hydrologically The dividing line of the Bay Area with the central valley is the Vaca Mountains between Fairfield and Vacaville. I know people who live in Vacaville and Fairfield that commute to the east bay for work.

Sorry sir, they’re having the same issues

What about North Berkeley?

@@TheJelloashNorth Berkeley is nice

Very simple and general statements, which are incorrect. There are good and shitty neighborhoods in each sub region.

Which homeless is more likely to harass me sexually? Do they smell gross? Smell is best part.

Actually far east bay is nice too

Right. The entire Bay Area is liberal. Not an exaggeration 🤢 at least SoCal has some conservative areas (OC, North county SD, northern LA county, etc)

Or maybe just because that shit is talked about 24/7 and people already know that
