I was a SF resident for 15 years then moved to the East Coast. Some notes from East Coasters:
a) SF (the city) starts at the Golden Gate bridge and runs all the way to San Jose.
b) Redwood city, San Jose and Oakland - anything located 50 miles around SF - these are all suburbs of SF.
c) The entire state burns every summer.
- hooloovoo_zoo 5y agoAs a San Jose resident this all seems pretty accurate TBH.
- er4hn 5y agoAs a SoCal resident (c) is super accurate

It's such a huge difference and broad swath of cities/towns. From north of the bridge down to sf to Santa cruz to the east bay, San Jose and even further south. It's so much, so complex, and rich in ways not known by simply summarizing it all as SF suburbs.
