I live in San Francisco, yes, in the City. I'm a native San Franciscan and have lived here all my life. San Leandro is somewhere over there .... the East Bay. Oakland or Berkeley are considered to be in the Bay Area affordable range; heck even San Leandro is considered affordable for the Bay Area. I turn completely blonde when I go across the Bay Bridge and have NO idea where San Leandro even is; all I know is that it's "over there."
