A city in
Northern California that's similar in some ways to Portland and Seattle. Hated and feared by certain people across America (
particularly the likes of Bill O'Reilly and other right wing political commentators) perhaps for it's liberal-minded and tolerant ways, it is a truly
unique city and one which I sorely miss.
PROS:
- Very friendly, open-minded people. Probably the nicest people you'll ever meet, most of whom are left wing democrats.
- Diverse in terms of race, cultures, subcultures, ect. (With tolerance comes diversity).
- The bay area is a fun place to visit if you enjoy sailing. Lots of bridges, islands, and cute little towns to stop by while you're out and about on your boat.
- Great weather and great scenery. Lots of beautiful old buildings and houses.
- Has a hippie and beatnik background, and is still enriched today by several
interesting and unique, or sometimes just down right absurd subcultures! :)
CONS:
- Abundant homeless population.
- As with any modern day city, some areas can be a bit scummy.
- Very expensive.
- Some people like to use the word 'hella'.
- Michael Savage.
