9. I have to agree. Oakland if only known by the news on
tv gets bad rap. The Oakland hills are very nice. Tom Hanks grew up there and went to Skyline HS there. My sons baby sitter went to school with him. Berkeley has many good areas but you would be commuting down 880 everymorning and with people going back to work the drive is longer.

Oh yeah, the best way to visually see the Silicon Valley returning to a good business cycle is to watch freeway traffic south on 680 and 880 in the morning and evening commute. Lots of layoffs, easy drive. Sick isn't it?

I have to drive through East Palo alto at least once a month to get to Stsnford docs, avoid East Palo Alto. The best reason to go there is IKEA.
