valley living - 7/31/2009
REnts here are cheap. There's enough large and small retail business here for all our needs, but without the urban sprawl. People who work here are friendly and enjoy working here. Many people buy here from the SF East Bay to enjoy a lower cost of living and a simpler life-style.
