look
not ignorant
oakland is terrible and for people to be saying that is nice is laughable
for me to be in downtown oakland and to be almost chased and mugged by some coogi wearing gangsters is not funny.
oakland is terrible. out of my 25 years living here in l.a. and that has never happened to me.
and this is coming from a guy that has walked in compton, south central and watts at 3 in the morning

ehh bay dudes always try to @*%+ on sac, but sac probably has more to do than majority of bay area cities aside from sf, oakland, berkeley, and san jose.. OF COURSE. But the fact the bay contains those 4 cities means Bay > Sac. So us Bay dudes still have a reason for @%$@@!*! on Sac. Not gonna lie though, being here at Davis, I go to sac to get my Asian groceries and Pho fixes. Can't stand the pho here in davis...even after a night of drinking I'd sooner drive out to Stockton in Sac with all the little Asian plazas for something legit. Haven't checked out Sac's night life, though.

The only thing ANY of those cities have over Sacramento is their proximity to San Francisco..

Stockton is awful but it's nothing like the Bay Area. SF is my favorite part of the Bay but the Peninsula and Silicon Valley are cool too, just different. SF is great if you're young and single but I rather raise a family in somewhere like Palo Alto or Mountain View than SF.
My whole life I've lived in Mountain View, one of the nicest cities in the bay area perfect place to raise a family. I've had the same friends since preschool all great people you couldn't ask for anything better we have one of the top 5 public high schools in the state, also I'm certain the average of murders a year have been 0 the past 5 or so years now.My post sound like a mountain view brouchure

You're really lumping in the SFV with the IE and Victorville? There are some nice areas in the SFV like Encino, Porter Ranch, Northridge, Calabasas, etc. You also mention Burbank as good forgetting it is in the SFV. More or less it's a better place in terms of raising a family with a decent commute (depending on traffic) to Hollywood/Downtown. Sure it's not as "cool" as living within the city but considering it the same as the IE is ridiculous.Originally Posted by VeryAnalytical85
, a lot of Cali NT'ers don't really know wassup with NorCal or SoCal (good or bad).
It seems the only ones dropping knowledge about spots is Fongstar and Ham.
As someone who's lived in both places (and visited and stayed around Central Cali and the San Joaquin Valley) I'll chime in my two cents.
For relevance of the thread, I'll admit. Other than attending/working at UOP, having a business or working in healthcare and/or unless you have family or a significant other. You really have no business in any part of the 209, plain and simple. Granted it was good for development in the early 2000s before the real estate market collapsed and a lot of gated communities began to develop, (especially in Stockton and Modesto).
In terms of what's good in NorCal (Silicon Valley, mostly San Jose) got some cool spots, San Francisco (given) and surprisingly Oakland has cleaned up within the past decade. Downtown Oakland, was literally a ghost town in the 80s and 90s. Until hipsters, investors and younger people who wanted an alternative to afford lofts/luxury suites near the lake/bay instead of paying the premium prices of rent in SF. Lukas, Bit Burger, Lake Merritt, Fox Theatre, and Chinatown, has some exceptional grub and bars to chill at. As for places to raise a family: Silicon Valley, Nob Hill/Hayes Valley, Oakland Hills, Berkeley Hills, Rockridge, Danville, and more. As for Sacramento, I can barely comment on it because I haven't lived nor been around there a lot, other than my few visits to UC Davis, which doesn't count.
Unappealing Parts of NorCal: Deep East Oakland, Deep West Oakland, Certain parts of Berkeley, Richmond, Tenderloin District (in SF) and apparently some parts of San Jose. Cons of living here, can have too much hustle and bustle, depending on the area can be more family oriented and/or unless you got the money or live in an area with a lot of young people, you can get bored.
SoCal is also a different side to California. Again to start out with the Good stuff, you got: In LA (Downtown, Larchmont, Little Tokyo, Wildshire, Beverly Hills and Hollywood), outer LA County cities: Long Beach (although some may consider it borderline OC), Santa Monica, Burbank, Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes, Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley and Cerritos.
Whereas in Orange County, the good parts are in: Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Corona Del Mar, Fullerton, Anaheim, Anaheim Hills and more.
Unappealing Parts of SoCal: Inland Empire (the outskirts and places that aren't University or gated community influenced), Santa Ana (minus Downtown Santa Ana, they got some nice joints out there), San Fernando Valley (unless you work in porn or the movie industry, not so much appeal in living/working out here) and the desert area Victorville, Hesperia and etc.

Cali can get pretty racist. There are parts deep in the OC that are pretty bad. They won't necessarily call you a ni..gg. er but they won't hire you/they won't lease an apt to you/cops will harass you
