Are Bay Area residents more reserved than their LA counterparts? (Berkeley: neighborhood, living)

You misread my statement as you have on other occasions.

Judging by some of the reactions you sometimes get, I don't think I'm the only one who does.

I'm not sure what you mean. That people misunderstand or disagree? Several times in this discussion you wrote that I was "wrong" when, in-fact, you were wrong. I try not to accuse others of being wrong unless I have read up on the topic enough to be relatively sure that they are incorrect.

I don't recall actually using the phrase "you are wrong" or even using that word. I stated my point of view based on what I thought was your point of view. I don't think I said you were wrong. In fact, I believe in my last response I said you were right about at least one thing and I agreed with you about another. I actually back-peddled which is something most people are terrified to do on a forum. Please explain to me how "I agree that one does not have to live in an area to understand its climate" translates to "you're wrong".

I'll wait.

Hey Geetoo, I'm not accustom to having disputes with you and don't want to get into a pissing contest. I can only go on what you have written. I interpret "No" as meaning 'wrong' and have taken the time to review your statements. You seem to be quick in stating where I am incorrect and also accused me of making some sort of comment about San Diego and Tijuana.

Here are some of our statements to me on this thread:

Once again. someone who doesn't know the Bay Area.

No it doesn't. If you mean the delta area, that fog is part of the valley fog. An east wind up there dries everything out just like it does here.

No it doesn't. It receives less rainfall than every city in the south and east coast.

I don't explain it, you did. Having lived there, I know that the fog we get around the bay is caused by a different weather phenomena, but what would a person who's lived there for half their life know over some one who's visited?

Those valleys form their own fog in the same way as the central valley and no, it does not spill over into the bay.

But again, it seems silly to be arguing over "tule" fog and rather than continue that discussion I cited articles, including the national weather service on the matter. I think we can lay it to rest.

Thanks for reminding me of what I said (don't know how else I would have remembered otherwise).

You know what I'm talking about, you can play dumb (if it's an act) all you want. Yeah we'll lay it to rest.

Tule fog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EXACTLY,

Its not a common occurence in the least and it only takes driving around town on a normal summer day to see that fog rolls in from the ocean more than 99% of the time that there is fog in the summer.

Tule Fog and Valley Fog is more of a winter thing-that's my experience from living in Sacramento for 3 years.

No, people in the Bay Area tend to be the happiest or at least the most content in California. At least that's what most surveys have pointed out.

If I recall correctly, the Bay Area is the ONLY region in the state of California where the majority of respondents said they were happy about their quality of life. Something like 70%!

Compared to under 50% for all of SoCal.

It does indeed seem like most of the CA-bashing is done in reference to the metro LA area since it has more traffic and smog as well as more of a reputation for "fake" people and being more heavily converted, than the SF area, into an extension of Latin America.

It seems that this thread has degenerated into a slinging match about the weather in different places in California. Can we get back on topic?

When I was living in Orange County, we had L.A. folks calling us fake, HA!
