I miss it but, as someone said on a similar thread, the culture has changed for the worse and the Bay Area I remember probably doesn't exist.

Holy crap, this echoes my own experience to the point that until you described your family, I thought I was reading something I'd posted and forgotten about!
On the bright side, when the time comes for my mom to move out of her house in the Berkeley Hills, she's gonna make a Goddamned FORTUNE!
