I'm living in the Bay right now. One thing that's so cool about it is everywhere is unique. You could be in Berkeley and travel 10 miles in any direction, and each path you take will lead you to a place with a completely different and unique feel to it

@wholewheatcracker3561 3 года назад

As a Bay Area native that’s really great to hear, I’m glad you love the Bay for what it is. Most of the new people coming in hate it but live here anyway for some reason, then they try to change it to be more like them, shops that sell $5 coffee and stuff like that, and then they hate that too even though they made it. I love the Bay and it’s culture, there’s nowhere like it

He's also failed to mention the Pleasanton-Livermore corridor northeast of San Jose in Alameda County, which is very important to our Defense Department historically and presently, and is home to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory of which U.C. Berkeley is historically partnered with -- Berkeley (which he does rather naively mispronounce, here) being where the cyclotron was created and where more chemical elements have been added to the periodic table than any other university in the world. Plutonium was discovered in Berkeley. The flu vaccine was created here. (U.C. Berkeley also houses the original papers of Mark Twain.) Berkeley, of course, (since the vid maker has that Linux penguin everywhere) has been very important in the history of the UNIX/Unix operating system(s). So, it isn't like it's simply some adjunct to other tech centers in the region -- a conceit they'd like you to believe down in the South Bay, ha ha ha. It's often ranked as the top public university on the planet. Livermore is also the home of the National Ignition Facility -- which only happens to have the world's largest laser complex and is a key center for fusion energy research. I'll let Mr. Smarty Fast-Talking Video-Maker Who Knows Everything go look that up.

Oakland is a very diverse city. It has both rich and poor neighborhoods but with the gentrification occurring due to rich millionaires not being able to afford to live in SF because of the Silicon Valley's multi-millionaires are moving in, the millionaires started to move towards the east bay where Oakland is and other relative poor cities. California in general isnt like this only regions with important industries have such obscene cost for standard of living. Further inland everything is cheaper but less jobs compared to booming cities near the coast.

I lived in poverty near Fresno in the Central Valley. In my rural farming town we have tons of meth heads. The problem with meth heads is you can't have them around. Even the mellow ones. There were tons of empty houses in town. Every one was set of fire by meth heads. The most recent one happened where the homeowner got put in prison (for meth) and left his GF there. She didn't pay the water/electric and moved out. She left her son who's brain was friend on meth. He brought all his friends to live in the back yard and they eventually set the house on fire. The prior year a woman who lived there was murdered in front of the house. abc30.com/news/detectives-searching-for-leads-in-murder-of-mendota-woman/1637060/ (woman interviewed was ranchers wife and she's been on meth for years. Look at the shacks behind the house) This is the same house 4 months later., abc30.com/news/squatters-blamed-for-house-fire-in-mendota/1838573/ They move into a house and strip out the copper wires and anything made of metal (a/c ducting). Then they start tearing down the inside walls for fire/heat/cooking. THEY WILL DESTROY YOUR PROPERTY! Needless to say, I am not a social worker.

@matthewalvis9729 7 лет назад

cpMetis It's a bit exaggerated. Well kind of. I live in San Francisco making $65,000 per year with 3 kids, and that is considered EXTREMELY poor. (Even though, it isn't for the rest of America). Per month, that's $5400. I spend $2500 per month on rent, and the rest of basic necessities, and bills. By the way, $2500 per month is extremely cheap for a two bedroom apartment, to give you an idea of how expensive it is. Also, a gallon of milk can sometimes cost $6. So yeah, San Francisco is expensive.

@cpMetis 7 лет назад

Matthew Alvis Jesus. Is this all just because of the dense population?

@matthewalvis9729 7 лет назад

cpMetis I think it's because there are so many rich people in San Francisco that the grocery stores feel that people will pay more for basic things, like milk and eggs. Also, since a lot of people don't own cars in SF (we have great public transport), people won't (I know it sounds ridiculous), commute to other cities to buy groceries in other cities, so the grocery stores jack them up even more.

@ChromeFilms77 7 лет назад

I think it's mostly because SF is an extremely desirable place to live because of all the tech companies that are there, and so retailers know the can jack up the prices and real estate owners can jack up the rent.

I am thinking about it. Ideally I want to also talk about a major economic component of the metro area, otherwise the videos would be very short and limited to listing city names. Like the Bay Area has the tech industry. With Chicago I could talk a lot about the rail road industry and its port on the lake and the canal to the Mississippi. That is what I can think off the top of my head, though other people can tell me more about the important industries in Chicago. I might also do New York and LA. However at this point my list of potential videos is starting to get really long so who knows how long before I can make them.

@Rudy-ec1er 7 лет назад

That all sounds awesome! You could do a kind of playlist of different metro areas. Idk.

Suggestions for improvement 1. Most of your pronunciations of geographic terms were wrong. For example, Berkeley is pronounced "Berk-lee" not "Berk-ell-lee". Marin is pronounced "muh-rin" not "Mare-in". Others were more subtly wrong like Contra Costa is pronounced "contra cost-uh" not "coast-uh". 2. The Silicon Valley is a weird term. Everyone wants to be in it, so you'll see companies a long way from the valley say they are in the Valley. Even your highlighting is more expansive than the original definition: for example, no part of Alameda County is part of the original definition. (You'll have to Google hard to get the original definition). 3. Talk slower. Gray has excellent enunciation and can get away with speaking more rapidly. I think you might have tried to talk even faster than Gray. 4. Take more than one take and edit together the best stuff. Take the best rendering of each sentence and use that in the video.

@VanDeGraph 8 лет назад

1) I immediately regret only looking up how to pronounce San Jose 2) I decided to take the most expansive reasonable definition, in part I considered the Santa Clara river estuary and marshes to be good enough to qualify its banks as part of the geographic Santa Clara valley since there was no well defined definition. This lined up with the definition that comes up from google, which includes Fremont, Alameda and parts of the city of San Mateo. 3) I actually try to speak slower while recording, so far it has been no use. I think my best bet is to just work on enunciation. Either that or I could stretch the sound out with audicity, but then I would have a deeper voice, which may or may not be a good thing. 4) I already do that maybe I should try more?

@markkusler7523 7 лет назад

You're definitely not a Northern California native... you mispronounced Marin and Contra-Costa (Mah-RIN or Muh-RIN, CAHNtruh-CAHstuh) really badly. :-) Having said that though, the content was good. :-) Also, The City of SF and County of SF were merged pretty early (like REALLY early after statehood) in their history, but there was a time when they were distinct entities.

@Roderick4057 7 лет назад

Mark Kusler sf is central california

@markkusler7523 7 лет назад

That's a bit pedantic.. but generally, Bay Area guys consider themselves northerners. I live up by Tahoe and we do the same. We're at a similar latitude. :-) Central CA would be along the lines of Fresno or Tulare, Madera, possibly Manteca or Modesto. SF is definitely in the northern half of the state.

@Roderick4057 7 лет назад

Mark Kusler i only recognize what is close to oregon northern california

@Roderick4057 7 лет назад

so basically everything north until the state's east border becomes sideways

@markkusler7523 7 лет назад

Obviously, I can't prevent you from doing so... but the folks in "Jefferson" don't even think of themselves as Californians. Basically, you're wrong. :-) I suspect we'll just have to agree to disagree.

You're not from here, are you. You wouldn't pronounce "Marin" like that if you were.

@upandawaygames 7 лет назад

I suppose others have noticed it already, but the general Internet migration from written web pages to spoken videos has some surprising side effects. For example, if you don't really know what you're talking about you might get exposed because you don't know how to pronounce things correctly.

3:10 if you're poor and only make $100,000 a year. Sadly accurate if you want to live in the bay.

originalnab perhaps if you want to own a house in the Bay Area. I'd say a basic livable wage here is about $18 an hour. Less than that and you have to split rent with someone.

3:03 "poor and only make $100k a year" that's what my dad makes working at muni which pays more than double minimum wage, which itself is practically double the federal minimum wage i would not consider that kind of money poor, but then again we are talking about good old overpriced CA

@VanDeGraph 7 лет назад

It was a tongue in cheek joke poking fun at the high rents in San Francisco, $100k certainly isn't poor.
