My family has just over 90 years of life here. My home was purchased for 10k. LOL. My son will be taking over later. It was fun hearing all the stories of Alameda when they were growing up. Neptune is my favorite. I loved taking my children there and telling them this is ware the roller coaster stared. So many changes. I am a Faction man myself, and St. Georges.

Lifelong Peninsula resident. Fortunate I was here before the economic explosion in the 80s.

Living in Detroit.

If you want to die move to Oakland. If you want to have a chance to survive you’ll live in Berkeley and even then it’s still ghetto in all of Alameda county.

Santa Rosa, Sebastopol and Bodega Bay are part of Sonoma County as well, and therefore included in the Bay Area. They were omitted from your diagram. Santa Rosa is actually the biggest city in Sonoma County FYI. The Boundaries are defined by County lines. East Bay includes Alameda and Contra Costa Counties for example.

Richmond is great. I moved here from Berkeley a few years ago, and while it's a bit warmer in temp, it is also a lot more chill in vibe and more importantly the city management isn't forced to cater to the every whim of UCB. THe downtown of my childhood has been ruined, and for what? Poor road planning that makes the traffic on shattuck ave so much worse than it ever was before. It's actually just bad, and whoever designed it needs to lose their architectural degree and learn practical urban planning.

,,,how is Santa Rosa/Rohnert Park not apart of the North Bay?

Very accurate man. Thanks for the video. I’ve been living in San Jose for two years now and have been all over the Bay Area.

San Francisco. The only city in the country with a Poop Map that's updated in real-time.

Nice GIRLY hair!

You didn't even go over places like Vallejo?

Seriously? With its world-class weather, food options, and safe streets, Berkeley is one of the most livable cities in the world. Oakland, one of the dead-able cities in the world.

I’ve never heard public transportation in the Bay Area described as good. It’s ok enough but compared to many European and Asian cities and even NYC, Bay Area public transportation really is not up to standard of one of the wealthiest regions of the world.

Don't live here if you want to stay poor.

Ideally you don't, you live in a small casket in a cemetery.

Nice, Thank you, a really good tool to show visitors to the area. Well done. The only part I find missing is the inclusion of Rohnert Park to Healdsburg, or at least Santa Rosa. Sonoma Valley is generally considered part of the North Bay, especially by its residents. If Calistoga in Napa or Dixon are deemed part of the North Bay, then omitting most of Sonoma County is inaccurate. If Napa and Solano counties are included in the North Bay, then most of Sonoma County should certainly be included as well. Thanks.

I'm definitely wary of all these reactionary / sensationalist comments about crime, but at the same time, it seems a little uncanny to talk about Oakland without mentioning it at all. The place just isn't build for yuppie transplants. It's "live" to say the least. But of course it depends on what neighborhood one lives in, and you will meet affluent types in Oakland who've never even considered transferring their wallet to their sock (especially in the hills). You'll have high-rise condos a few blocks from overgrown lots full of abandoned cars and goats. Pretty bizarre, but still a great place. Also, think of Berkeley as a sort of honorary "North Oakland" - it's a gradient. Good vid though, man, I appreciate your nuance in breaking these cities down. Just wanted to call this out, even if it's overblown in the news.

Why didn’t you include Sonoma county? It’s one of the 9 BayArea counties.

West Contra Costa/North Alameda FTW Access to all the Freeways. 15-30 Mins to the 415,707, and 925.

Growing up in San Leandro I went there often to work out at Alameda Athletic club. The Pacific Pinball Museum is AMAZING! You can play about 100 different machines from every era all for a very low entrance fee. The city looks great! I miss it. Lots of great memories there. The Gold Coast area and St Charles Street was my favorite.

thanks for the video! did not expect you to link your phone number and say to give you a call, it feels so homey

North Bay as shown is too large in this video

I'm a flight attendant, and last month I had 3 consecutive long San Jose layovers. As someone who loves SF but had never been to Silicon Valley, I was surprised to find it was quite warm/sunny because I assumed the entire Bay Area was lukewarm and foggy like San Francisco has been every time I've visited. It was like 85°.

The bay area sucks. Every city doesn't want to build enough housing because their property owners are NIMBY idiots masquerading as fake environmentalists. They would rather see the homeless population explode than build enough new housing, so that their property values continue to increase

'Oakland is cheaper than SF?' lol ..umm Rockridge, Piedmont, Montclair, oakland hills...? ..most of all..what about Blackhawk? lol all those places I don't think someone making 100k-150k/yr can afford lmao

I miss Alameda. I was paying $1000 a month for a 1 bd/1 ba apartment with a back yard four years ago. I should have never left. Had a good paying job a 10 minute walk from home as well.

Oakland is ghetto af lol just because you gentrified lakeshore it doesn’t mean that the rest of the city isn’t crime ridden they literally just closed down in and out because of the crime

Nice video. You did a lot of california rolling stops in the video. When I lived in Alameda years ago, i would get ticketed for that. I heard the cops don’t really enforce it anymore

SF and east bay for homeless ppl and robberies, north bay for old ppl, peninsula and south bay for good food, nice neighborhoods, and tech bros.

please stay in your hometown

Don’t live in the Bay Area lol. The dumbest people live there. Unless you’re an idiot then you’ll fit right in.

One thing you have to keep in mind when buying a house in the East Bay is fire risk. There are many areas that insurance companies will simply not cover. Also many of the cities in the East Bay have trash public school districts so make sure to do your research if you have or plan to have kids. One thing I noticed he didn't mention was crime rate. In Oakland, in the cheapest places to live, you have a 1/65 chance of being a victim of a violent crime.

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.

I hope to move to San Fran one day but since the house prices are so high I need to get some money first.

K. As a person who live in the Bay area. They are the same crime wise and annoying high price of living. I will say sf has more homeless and a lot of Asian influence. Oakland has more black people I know it's kinda stereotype but kinda true. Oakland and SF are the same thought when it comes to be over priced and have two casts. The rich and poor. Believe me. I have gone from the ghetto to omg don't touch anything these rich bezziez will charge you😂 walking down the streets. Also both cities charge you for parking. And i mean it a a gay man up what what. Thats not even the tickets yoh can get. Sf 300 for parking violations same with Oakland. Thats not you didnt park correct or didn't park in the right place. Its like 45 min parking or 30 min. And you get there before. Like 5 mins early. The city worker will distract you and wait to give you the tickets. For those 5 mins. I have seen it happen to this guy at Eros. It was a bathhouse

My sister moved to Felton north of Santa Cruz…..more rural feeling.

Can you make a video on up and coming walkable Oakland neighborhoods that are relatively affordable? I’m thinking ones like Temescal ten or more years ago.

Disagree about bike friendliness. Honestly, I think Oaklands bike network is far more functional than Berkeley. My impression of riding in Berkeley is that while drivers cannot go quite as fast on most streets, they do drive in more frantic and anxious ways because they are distracted and in a rush to get places because it takes longer. That’s not the feeling I have in Oakland. Compare riding on major Oakland roads like Telegraph, MacArthur, Fruitvale, around the lake to major roads in Berkeley like San Pablo, Telegraph, shattuck, etc. it’s much more congested and people fly down Telegraph in Berkeley.

Fairfield, Vacaville, and Dixon are “North Bay”? 😂😂

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 👍

Nobody ever mentions Newark/Union City 🏙️ and Fremont is never mentioned much!,Niles Canyon has the Charlie Chaplin Days Festival in August!

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

i'm not moving there (not even american) but i loved this video.

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 was born and raised in Alameda. I'm 70 now and Alameda was a great little island city back then. Now it seems so yuppy. The housing prices are ludicrous, but that is California. It's too bad that the city caved to the elite crowd. Who are these people who buy a fixer upper for 1 million and decent houses for 1.5 - 3 million? The house my dad built is now over a million. I can't believe it. When I lived there in the 50's -70's you had a wide variety of incomes that gave Alameda more of a realistic balance. If most of the houses begin at 1 mil Alameda must have a very upper middle-class to upscale population. Nice drive around and thanks, but this is nothing what Alameda was. The charm is gone.

Anything south of daly city is unacceptable. Nuff said

Please consider doing more research before you make these videos. 1. Alameda Naval Air Station, not a Navy base per se. 2. Admiral Malting is not a brewery, they process malt and have a taproom and food. 3. You drive by one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Alameda, Saltbreaker, without mention. As a resident, I had to stop watching due to the errors. Do you live in Alameda or is this just marketing for your real estate business?

Answer is don't

I learned a lot
