I have lived in San Francisco and Oakland and I was always happy to return to the East Bay when moving out of San Francisco. I worked in a high end restaurant and a record company, but have always loved the warm, diverse, friendly (and to my mind, safer) environment in the East Bay. I have lived in the Berkeley hills for many years (I am a Cal grad). I have lived in Europe and Japan, and would pick this place as my first choice every time. Tilden, Sibley, the views…I like the City and everything it offers, but I would rather live here.  <a href="http://www.fleteteverdha.us" title="rayban wayfarer">rayban wayfarer</a>
