After seeing those pics I'd say Oakland out of the 2 choices, I only wish it was hotter there in the Summer .

I can get warm there, Infamous92. In fact, the weather on the Oakland side of the Bay is almost always warmer than the San Francisco side.

If you want hot, you simply go over the Oakland Hills to the burbs, and you've got hot (but with almost no humidity).

Really? JC's skyline kicks Oakland's skyline's a**. Anything with the Statue of Liberty in it is impressive.

Oh that's good because SF is too cool in the Summer for me.

I agree. Jersey City has a much better and more impressive skyline. Oakland NIMBYS shoot down every highrise proposal--but we might be getting some nice towers if the economy ever improves.

In the meantime, we'll just have to make do with the height Mother Nature gave us.
