One interesting development is that the center for the Bay Area is likely to shift southwards to San Jose in the next decade. The primary industry for the Bay Area is much more concentrated in San Jose and a primary issue had been that one of the main issues has been the terrible commute from the East Bay to San Jose. However, BART reaching downtown San Jose is a massive shift, along with electrified Caltrain and an expanded VTA light rail (and to some extent, the high speed rail line which seems to have been reconfigured into an extremely long range commuter rail for San Jose). These are just the transit expansions, but coupled with the denser housing construction in San Jose, and the sponsorship of civic art and culture institutions within the city and that the domestic and foreign migrant population into the area generally favor new construction, well, you got a stew going.
Haha your opinion is just that. I embrace you right to have one.
I have hosted hundreds of people from out of town over the years who hail from all over the world and I dont even have to ask--they volunteer praise about the weather-ESPECIALLY IN SUMMER...So thanks for your opinion but Im good.
Ahh, so this adds to your bias, yes, everyone knows the virtues of a very mild climate like Oakland, Los Angeles Long Beach or Sacramento to name just a few California cities.
I've hosted folks from Europe both in the winter and summer right here and Sacramento and I've heard the same applause.
Sacramento weather is more like LA, San Jose, Oakland and Long Beach than it is Washington D.C. New York, Chicago, Miami and hundreds of other American cities.
This is what coastal Californians don't understand: Sacramento has a mild climate, a Mediterranean Climate; it is more like most Coastal Californian cities than most other American cities. Because, we can get toasty for just PART OF DAY in the summer completely distorts a coastal Californians mind in how much Sacramento is just like their weather. This past 30-50 days is a perfect example of how similar(near identical) Sacramento weather is to many cities in the Bay Area, LA, and SD.
They also don't know that of all the microclimates on the immediate coast to 20/30 miles inland, Sacramento, also, as a microclimate that allows for a distinct area within the Central Valley that receives COOL temperatures in the middle of the summer.
What do Phoenix, Vegas and 85% of other cities in the US have to do with this thread? Sacramento is scorching hot in summer compared to Oakland in the summer time, why do you keep pretending it isnt? Ive lived in both cities for years and know this for a fact.
No most people would say Oakland's climate is more comfortable in the summer. I really dont know who you think your fooling? This is like common knowledge, the Bay is cooler. What's up the resistence to reality?
No, you are pretending that Sacramento isn't cool, comfortable and pleasant most of the time from 5 a.m. to Noon 1pm, 2pm in the middle of the summer.
You ignore that Sacramento weather is near identical to Oakland temps in the middle of the summer from 5 a.m. to Noon 1pm, 2pm in the middle of the summer.
I've lived in SF and Sacramento for many years as well, and spent many a summer in my youth in the inner East Bay.

Okay but for the 34th time, Oakland summers are way more comfortable than Sacramento summers, and compared to Oakland, Sacramento is really hot.
You keep bringing up places that arent part of thread and thats totally irrelevant.

Yes, compared to Oakland's, Sacramento summers are hot. Which is good. It's not outrageously hot like the Inland Empire, Vegas or Phoenix which are miseably hot despite the dry heat talk. It's also not hot in the terrible muggy hot 'lanta and Florida sort of hot. It's simply a good heat signifying summer and a pleasure to be outside.

I used to think that until my Bay Area and friends insist on coming up to Sacramento IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER.
