I lived in the North Bay area (Benicia) for 22 years. I never got tired of the view (while driving west) as one exits the Caldecott Tunnell. Before you are the Oakland Bay Bridge and in the distance the Golden Gate.
As horrible as SF is, in many ways, it is a beautiful natural setting for a city.
People make a good living driving others over our Bay Bridge in Maryland:

When I go to Heaven I hope it’s the Bay Area - born and lived there for 60 years - without the dirty Leftists. Loving that idea.
