Great city, very conveniently located in SF area

I moved to Concord 20 years ago and have loved living here. It has a charming central square downtown that hosts farmers markets two days a week. I love the Music & Market weekly concerts in the summertime. The city is very conveniently located -- close to other cities in central Contra Costa County like Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill, and it's easy to get to cities like Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco by BART. It seems like a nice, safe city to me. I've never experienced any crime here. The only negative is the traffic on 680 from people commuting past Concord to get to and from SF. The weather is great. It's hotter in the summer than most parts of the foggy Bay Area, and I like that. It's a treat to go outside on a summer night and not have to wear a heavy coat, as you do in San Francisco.
