You nailed it with the weather explanation. 3 totally diff climates between Oakland, SF east and SF west.
thank you!
good point about the weather - changes drastically in different parts of the bay
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 TH-cam. KJ
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for teaching me about the Bay Area
Thanks for watching!
As a child, I grew up living in Pacifica. Very close to the ocean, Montana mountain viewed from my bedroom window, plenty of great places to explore for kids too. We lived on Manzanita Drive, and I could walk to school back then. My parents paid about $22,000 for our house back in 1961. Lord knows what is would sell for today. We didn’t have or need an air conditioner, and every day at 5:00pm, the fog would roll in and cool it down. Great memories in Pacifica. But I’m in Texas now and I am here to stay.
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.
Though it may be just scratching the surface, it is THE most informative video of "The Bay" that a newbie can access. Thanks!
I’m glad to hear that and thanks for watching!
Nice breakdown, Zach!
Thank you!
I wish we had BART going to the north bay. I had to take the Golden Gate Transit bus when I went to college in Berkeley.
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
I see you're a somewhat new channel and the content is incredible. you're going to be huge! 😃
Thank you, I appreciate that!
North Bay - Most Remote and Rural
SF - Best pros, worst cons
Peninsula - Nice but very expensive
South Bay - Urban LA with worse weather/ beauty & better jobs
East Bay - Microcosm of the bay, a little bit of everything
It's an awesome area with something for everyone and lots of variability compared to most US metro areas.
peninsula is great if you make 800k a year and are here on an h1 visa, other than that no one can afford it.
My sister moved to Felton north of Santa Cruz…..more rural feeling.
thanks for this video!! im a nurse from nc and looking to move to the bay area in the next couple of years :’)
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. Good luck with the move!
Here’s what I’ve learned about “the bay area” if you live in San Francisco, you say you live in San Francisco, if you live on the peninsula or Silicon Valley you just say you live in the city you live in(Palo Alto, Burlingame, Atherton) . If you live somewhere undesirable, then you say you live in the “bay area.” ;)
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!
The mid peninsula is the best. From Burlingame to Palo Alto. Weather, crime rate, shopping, etc..
Most unaffordable too, go figure
@@samrusoff Supply and demand. Great location = high demand.
in terms of housing costs in "north bay", important to consider marin county vs solano county, for example. the former on average much more expensive
i'm not moving there (not even american) but i loved this video.
Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Uh, good video- very interesting. I've been to Berkley but that was before SF is what it is now. Still cool. thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Microclimates, microclimates, microclimates! Such a key point 😂
And make no mistake, that tip of the peninsula on the map is actually HUGE, and bustling for those who've never been. I had to learn these things when I visited 👍
Yes, even within SF there is quite a bit of variation. Layers are key!
Hayward is very underrated! It gets a bad rap because of supposed crime (KTVU news really likes to pick on them constantly), but it’s convenient and affordable, with great weather (warmer than peninsula, not as hot as inland east bay or south bay).
I predict it will be the next hot market!
I agree it's underrated!
This video plus 1 million dollars will get you the ideal place to live!!
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 am from Hayward but moved to Reno..
North Bay: White tech bros, snobby wealthy leftist and hardcore environmentalists.
SF: Tech bros mashed with homeless
Peninsula: Tech bros mashed with other tech bros
South Bay: Tech bros, tech bros, tech bros, and more tech bros.
East Bay: Normal humans with regular jobs of all races.
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.
I've always thought of the Divisidero between the South Bay and the Peninsula as the Santa Clara/San Mateo County line If I'm going up 280 I feel like I'm getting towards the Peninsula when I get to Page Mill Road and Magdalena Avenue
The south bay reminds me of LA.
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!'
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.
Unaffordable even on a salary of over $90k
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.
Nobody ever mentions Newark/Union City 🏙️ and Fremont is never mentioned much!,Niles Canyon has the Charlie Chaplin Days Festival in August!
I've recently been talking with more and more people who are interested in Fremont.
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.
I grew up in La Honda, since 90% of people have no idea where that is, i just say either the "Bay Area" Or west of Redwood City
I've driven through La Honda going up towards Woodside!
I grew up in Sunnyvale. Part of the city limits is literally the bay. It’s the peninsula, not South Bay. SHS, 1981.
East Alameda County is growing
I visited San Jose and SF for the first time a few weeks ago, and I loved it. I’m a lifelong Miami native, but the large influx of people coming here have me thinking about relocating, sadly. Miami is not what it used to. Lots of changes, and I find myself unhappy. I think the Bay Area would be an ideal place. A lot of people talk negatively about Cali, in general, but I loved San Jose. I’ll give Miami a few more years and then I’ll consider going to the Bay. Thanks for the insight.
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.
San Jose is overcrowded just like Miami lol
@@thehumblehummingbird 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.
🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@Zambineaux305 Sorry I wasn't trying to attack you or compare which city has it better or worse. San Jose may be losing population but Santa Clara County as a whole is still overcrowded. There are 2.5 million people in Santa Clara County and only 755,000 single family homes. The median home price in Santa Clara County has raised from $1.7 million to $2 million in the last few months because of the housing shortage. Houses are still selling extremely fast here, just like Miami-Dade County. The freeways and roads still have the same infastructure from the 80's but there are 1.6 million registered vehicles in Santa Clara County. The traffic here is insane just like most cities because politicians refuse to improve public transportation and infastructure. I am born and raised in San Jose, and I've seen the changes just like you've seen in Miami. We could lose another 500,000 people and there would still be a housing shortage and congested freeways. It's a good thing people are leaving, and I wish more would do the same.
@@thehumblehummingbird 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) 😂
Decent review but you didn't talk about cities like Vallejo, Albany, Martinez, Milpitas and so on.
Marin has the shallowness of LA with the pretentiousness of Berkeley 🤪
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
Marin voted to not have BART extend there. This would've championed SF and brought it up closer to NY in terms of transit. But even still we don't have 24/7 bart transit. ITs sooo backwards thinking. But i reckon affluent neighborhoods don't want the extra traffic. They want to control.
I am from the Bay Area, live in San Francisco if you want to hang out with homeless. Live in Oakland and the East Bay if you want to get robbed. Live in the North and South bay if you like to drive and live on the Peninsula if you are rich.
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.
How do you get this overlay on google maps?
I made it in google my maps. Send me an email if you want a link!
Bay Area microclimates are very real. It may be the only place where wearing shorts with a hoodie makes sense.
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.
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!
My niece lived in Noe Valley and she loved it.
@@3ofus135 Yes, Noe Valley is a great neighborhood!
Wait, you never told me where to live though 😅
The sap center is sponsored by the company S.A.P. company, a German software company. This company is just called SAP…pronouncing just the letters.
I’ve been pronouncing it wrong for a while, thanks for letting me know!
Anything south of daly city is unacceptable. Nuff said
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. 😬
you left out santa rosa as part of north bay
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
In my eyes, The Peninsula is the best part of the Bay Area.it's home to Silicon Valley.
Sonoma County is not part of the Bay Area?
Part of it is considered the Bay Area (it actually touches the bay), but not the whole thing.
Public transit is pretty good? You sure? I've taken Bart everyday for 12+ years and it's not good compared to other cities / countries. You can get robbed on the train itself not to mention car break-in in station parking lots. Public transit in the Bay Area is not good at all
Fairfield, Vacaville, and Dixon are “North Bay”? 😂😂
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.
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.
NOT in SF Too much poop.
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.
I live here and would leave in a moment if I could. It's expensive, it's dirty (smells of fecal matter and urine are common), it's noisy, the locals are 90% insane, and walking the streets in some areas is highly dangerous. if you want to live in the better areas be ready to shell out millions. Ya, millions. The weather is awesome, and the natural beauty of the land is amazing but it is the locals who live here that are the main issue. They are the ones with their ultra-leftist agendas that have turned the Bay area as a whole into a garbage can. I have no agenda in letting you know what the Bay is really like now. I just don't want someone using their hard-earned money to move here with false expectations. So, if you are thinking of moving to anywhere near or in SF, Oakland, Hatward, or Berkeley, be warned.
Answer is don't
Where to live in the SF Bay Area: wherever Gavin Newsolini ISN'T the Governor.
HE MUST BE A LIBERAL NEVER TALKS ABOUT CESSPOOL AREAS AND A LOT OF THEM
