I lived in Berkeley in the Hills across the street from the California School for the Deaf and a straight, mostly level bike ride to the top of campus where the engineering department and most of my classes were located. My 1b/1b apartment on the top/3rd floor had views of three bridges with the Golden Gate bridge in the center. The sunsets from my dining room/kitchen table used as my desk were awesome. Half a mile down the hill was the nonsense of People's Park leading to the rougher part of Berkeley and into Oakland. Even then, the politics made me promise myself to NEVER BUY a home in SF, Berkeley or Palo Alto.... Weather was nearly perfect too, cooler in the summer than Los Altos and warmer in the winter due to its proximity to more water but Los Altos is sure nice once you get past the lack of views of the Bay and a bit more temperature changes but still a nice cool 75F now today while Central California is 100 and cools to 80 this time of year. We used to be a little more conservative than Palo Alto, but PA has listened to Kamala Harris's father's politics when at Stanford and swung even more to the left while we are moving more left too, just not as fast.
