The Bay Area has hills on all sides. I say Oakland tho cause the views are spectacular and so is the quality of life. But then in the West that tends to be the norm, the higher the elevation the higher the quality of life. lol

The whole terrain of the city is quite hilly, big hills. San Francisco has an edge up, but certainly not pale in comparison.

I haven't seen dense urban housing development covering steep rolling hills in Seattle the way they are in San Francisco. Can you post some pics?
