The national labs are a quiet employer in the civic story. The public story is easier to taste: downtown tastings, estate wineries a short drive out, and a summer heat that Berkeley never believes. Del Valle Regional Park holds the water.
You can live here and rarely think about the bridge. That is a feature. BART is back in Pleasanton and Dublin if you need it. The local dream is a shorter commute to a valley job and a Saturday among vines.
