I was in San Jose, Santa Cruz, and some rich ass vineyard called Scottsvalley. Everyone out there told me its kick back out here, rains a lot, this and that...and thats it.
It's not just me, its everyone i know out here who has been to Oakland and SJ...they all say the same sh. Being amazed that they can walk around without back peekin the whole time.
Plus to me, it aint even about being hard and all that junk. Just make your money and stay safe while your at.
