Oakland - I love the older architecture, classic California, spanish adobe, craftsman style, in the hills, and Victorians in the flats.
San Jose - I love the older neighborhoods of San Jose, and how can anyone not like the homes in the areas of Saratoga, Los Altos, Los Gatos, etc.
Long Beach - I love the flats in the older neighborhoods not far from the beach.
Sacramento - I love All the neighborhoods surrounding downtown-midtown named "park". Land Park, Curtis Park, Oak Park, McKinley Park, and Midtown and East Sac.
All 4 cities have great older classic California style architecture, restored Victorians, Craftmans style, Arts & Craft, California Ranch, Spanish Adobe, Hollywood-bungalow style from the 20's and 30's.
I think Sacramento has the most restored Victorians. Long Beach has the most restored Craftsman style. San Jose probably more Spanish Adobe. Oakland has the most hollywood-bungalow style homes.
It's simple minded posts like this that make me go on and on about Sacramento weather.
Your comfort level through out the day and night. Your utility bill throughout the day and night. Your ability to truly experience cool weather in the summer are not reflective in only the high temp for the day. There are many other weather factors in play that choose to ignore because all you pay attention to is the high for the day.
Yes please tell us more about people's comfort level at 3am..... Nights and mornings in places like Ontario aren't exactly hot either.
Chimerique compares to all cities across the nation. Last I heard Miami, Austin, DC, St. Louis were not desert cities. You just can't admit when you are wrong.
I know you were trying to be a smartas... with the last comment, but actually you are correct Sacramento is MILD DURING THE SUMMER from early a.m. hours to 12noon, 1 and 2pm daily, more often than not.
I never claimed they were, what an odd statement. What am I wrong about? I never said you only compare them to desert cities but that is what was happening the past few pages.
But your last comment is buying into the distortion and misperception of Sacramento weather. Using the word "worst" puts us in the category that we truly have bad weather which is so not true.
All four cities have excellent weather overall, mild winters, cool summers for at least half the day, cool summer nights, and lack of violent inclement weather.
No it's simply saying it's the worst of the 4 and nothing more than that. Yet for some reason you bring in other cities into the conversation.
Way less segregated, less traffic, more in tune with middle america and the rest of the country, etc.
All good points, How did we all vote?
