Sorry, this is not a topic most unbiased persons would award to Bridgeport.

Not especially after that hideous snow and ice storm that just blew threw there and in the exact same day San Jose was pushing 80.
Everyone has their opinion..... I would take that blizzard over 80 anyday of the winter.

None of the big California cities can give you a perfect four season climate, go and educate yourself on your states weather, you clearly dont get out much then again being on the computer seems to be what people in the bay spend most their time doing

Thats exactly what you have NO CLUE about. Californias cities have whats called micro climates, look that up. IOW, you can drive short distances and have drastically different weather. San Jose is 45 miles from San Francisco and the climate is totally different. Ive been in Palm Springs in 100 degree weather and taken the tram up the mountain where there was snow.

California is green and flowery right now, yes its true. When its hot in NYC, watcha gonna do........you're going to suffer thats what. When its cold in NYC, whatcha gonna do, your gonna suffer.

And then you still have the brass balls to act like you know what you're talking about rofl. The only thing you have a clue about is the lack of snow... how did you ever manage to convince yourself that autumn doesn't happen here? This comment is so stupid on so many levels...


And since when did LA become the entire west coast?

What does the entire Tri State or Northern California have to do with Bridgeport or San Jose MSA?

Of course you wouldn't bother questioning this poster for his/her off topic comment because you're a fellow west coast booster.

it doesn't, autumn in the bay area = your indian summer. california in general, esp the coastal areas has a wet/dry mediterannean climate, not a continental 4 season...unless you are referring to daylight hours or earths tilt, but that isn't the same thing. smh

I've always thought such concern about "perfect" weather to be obnoxiously shallow anyhow.

It is a tell tell sign between the differences in cultures though.

sf is cool, lmao comparing bay area museums to nyc though, ...hilarious. as was the list of San Jose museums. But this is about Bridgeport, so I digress. Let's get back to Bridgeport vs San Jose instead of California vs Tri State Area or SF vs NYC.

When you live in the city, it doesn't really matter what the "tourist attractions" are.

At least my carbon copy city is safe and clean.

Wait, liking a Mediterranean climate makes a person shallow? I rather like wearing shorts and flip flops in January. I've been out east in the winter, talk about ass ugly and miserable.

See here gents, I know California, I am from there and couldnt wait to leave it, it just doesnt have a city like NYC. Sorry

The bay area is gorgeous as is all of California but I dont much care for the hiking and surfing activities, for me a coastal setting is being in a 50 story tower and looking on the horizon of endless water from one of the (if not the most) powerful city in the world. Nothing in California can come close to that feeling

Also enough of this micro climate talk, IDGAF what climate you have, climate I want from stepping into my balcony, I want it immediately for the season its meant to be, why would I drive from mountain to ocean to experience different climates? Do you think most people have that kind of time?

Indian summer only happens sometimes, and autumn definitely happens on the peninsula. I lived there 14 years... have definitely seen plenty of red leaves in october.

Why are you asking? I know you already know. These threads dont exist in a vacuum. This is a troll thread, some kinda freaky dog pile on San Jose.

Fort Worth Texas and Mobile Alabama are also relatively safe and clean.....
