EAST BAY AREA, KOLLYFORNIA

Oakland and environs in case some of our non-American friends don't know.

The rule of thumb for these pics is, the fewer trees there are, the farther east the pic was taken. Except for new development, which tends not to have many trees at all.

Close-up of some newer houses. Looks like . . . the same thing in Silicon Valley, SoCal and Sacramento.

Not sprawl. Some inner-city areas of Oakland (I think) for comparison.

At least it's got a BART station.

You can play tennis or go swimming on your lunch break. Only in Kollyfornia.

Gotta refine oil for all that sprawl. There's lots of refineries and oil tank farms in the Bay Area, especially the north Bay, it seems.
http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/2489/eastbay19bs1.jpg

Oil is needed to get to these. God bless America, Land of Eternal Sprawl!

Another close-up of new houses. At least they're somewhat dense.
http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5762/eastbay23xt6.jpg

New on the left, old on the right.

I believe this was pretty far east, almost to Stockton if I recall correctly.
http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/2571/eastbay26az3.jpg

Here I ventured farther west again, I think.
http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/8297/eastbay27cb5.jpg

A denser sort-of neotraditional development along the waterfront (in Richmond or thereabouts).
http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/9926/eastbay28xb5.jpg

Close-up of some older sprawl.
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2866/eastbay29df0.jpg

Here's what it all looked like before the sprawl . . .
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2707/eastbay30zw2.jpg

. . . Now let's add some "improvements." :)
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/6918/eastbay31ee0.jpg

This was reasonably interesting. New housing on the edges of a mall. I think this was in Walnut Creek. It looked like this would normally be spots for "outparcel" development such as fast food joints. But it appears they decided to go another route for these particular lots. Good idea.
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/2207/eastbay32gz6.jpg

Typical "power center" shopping center. With houses in back.
http://img321.imageshack.us/img321/1526/eastbay33cb7.jpg

http://img321.imageshack.us/img321/6888/eastbay34zr9.jpg

Looks like the hillside stuff in my L.A. sprawl thread.
http://img321.imageshack.us/img321/9605/eastbay35ns8.jpg

Back to the waterfront. I think this was in Alameda. At least it's dense.
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/7838/eastbay36fr7.jpg

More older not-so-sprawly inner city stuff, for comparison.
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/3479/eastbay37zx0.jpg

UC Berkeley, just for the heck of it.
http://img328.imageshack.us/img328/4090/eastbay38qm0.jpg

Nice hillside stuff.
http://img328.imageshack.us/img328/1071/eastbay39fn4.jpg

A traffic jam amid the sprawl. How appropriate.
http://img328.imageshack.us/img328/6914/eastbay40wd4.jpg

haha why did you cross out the athletics?
