Reply #176: Oh, well, if you're talking about driving the freeways there...

...that's another thing altogether.

The I-80 corridor was, a few years ago, the single busiest section of freeway in the state. And I cannot disagree about the drivers, people are lunatics on the road. I haven't found it limited to the East Bay. It can be worse if one is unfamiliar with the stretch of road. Also there are many places where you actually have to get across 3 or 4 lanes to get where you're going, which can make the problem worse.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't mean to direct it personally but I love the East Bay that I called home for many years, and I just felt compelled to point out some of its many wonderful features.

One that I forgot to mention is Kite Park at the Berkeley Marina. The views, you can see San Francisco and the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge... and people flying their kites and walking their dogs and ... it's just great!
