Ten reasons why I may move to Berkeley some day (in no particular order):

1) Bestest game store EVAH a block off campus.

2) Cycling lanes are ubiquitous and biking is part of the culture.

3) U.S.S. Hornet almost within sight.

4) Two international airports easily accessible via subway.

5) Famous produce store in town, apparently better than the one near us now.

6) Mild climate: most university buildings don't even have air conditioning.

7) Several good panographers based in the area (bad for local competition but good for support and common interests)

8) Gorgeous, tree- and stream-clad, world-class university.

9) Similar mind-set and attitudes.

10) Closer to Yosemite, redwoods, Napa Valley, etc.
