Right, I live in Oakland. This is a state exemption. In other parts of the state it may be meaningful, but if you (like me) bought property in the Bay Area in the current millennium then it's insignificant.
Heck no! I don't make enough money to live there in a way I would enjoy.
If you like camping you'll enjoy San Francisco
Not since the 8th, though.
Is it because the Berkeley dudes ain't that hippy any more?
