I agree, I really like Brentwood, however, it's getting there that's the problem....for now (Hwy 4). Can't wait 'till it's finished. All traffic going that direction from 3 to 7 sucks.

The pittsburgh/brentwood area going to be a cheaper area to live in San Francisco, but that's not a good thing. pittsburgh and brentwood are cheap places to live in because they are shit holes.
In Brentwood, its a land of strip malls and culdisacks and that means everything is spread out so you cant really walk to anything so you have to hop into the car to go to the store. Not good at all. A lot of the streets are shitty for walking since they were designed for car use instead of people who want to walk.
Traffic stinks in the pittsburgh/brentwood area, especially Brentwood since brentwood has no train rail or reliable bus transit service. If you live in Brentwood, you will probably turn into a fat fuck because you will start to drive everywhere and you wont have time to do anything else because you drive too much.
Get ready to become fatter, dumber, and look older because you will sit in traffic wasting your life away.

From the perspective of a lifelong resident of Antioch, I cant wait to get the fuck out. It seems to only be getting worse. As Marks93 said, Pittsburg has the right idea, things there are getting much better. Oakley is more small and quaint, not much there. Brentwood is probably the best choice. Its just going to be a safer area to live in.

You took the opportunity to provide an accurate and informative answer and turned it into a biased, useless post. What do you provide to society, seriously? Where is the statistic that shows smaller sidewalks make you stupid and fat? If you want to become a useless sack of shit, its your decision. Only a dumbass would blame it on the size of sidewalks.

Well, in the real world (not yours), streets ARE built for cars, not walking. However if you want to walk in the street, be my guest. I'll be the first one to meet you there with my car!!

You are a fuckin idiot.
Car commuting makes you fat because when you drive, you are not exercising and with no good transit options available in subruban locations like Brentwood, you will be doing a lot of driving so you will become fatter. Second, driving in traffic is stressful and it causes rage and anger. When the mind is subjected stress, rage and anger on a daily basis, the parts of the human brain respnsible for thought and reason becaome damaged. You become stupider. The stress from car commuting and zero exercise, walking will raise your blood pressure and hardern your blood vessels so you will die sooner.
Streets built with walking in mind are nice to look at and are great places to hang out and meet people. Wakling keeps you fit and social interaction and being happy are good for the mind.
A typical street optimized for car use instead of people in a shit hole cities were everything is spread out. Who the fuck would want to walk on a street like this?
A much better street like you will find in San Francisco thats good for walking and hanging out and enjoying life.

Think about this, all of the places were everything is spread out and the streets are shit for walking but good for moving a lot of car traffic like Brentwood, stockton, home prices went down the toilet during the housing crises while places more densly packed like San Francisco have actually have seen home prices go up. Why is that?

Why would you want to live in a crowded place anyways? With hella smelly ass people and small ass apartments ever notice how SF really doesn't have big houses? Ever think that people with big families or want to start a family would want a bigger house for cheap? You're just a dumbass. You don't deserve that cobra

As far as 24 hour stuff there isn't much. Safeway, wallgreens are open. Not sure about the Starbucks. I know jack in the box is open 24 hours for all your drunkin cravings. Most places are closed past 12pm. Besides the bars. Oh and for cobraracer this town is covered to bike lanes and trails for all your exercise needs. Being active is a life style. I have seen plenty of fat asses and stressed out people in SF.

You are missing my point. What sucks about cities Like Brentwood is that you really cant walk to where you need to go because the Cul de sack niehboorhoods are far from stores, bars what ever place you want to go.
If you want to buy a case of beer for example, you need to drive to the store because it's too fuckin far to walk. You need a car to go anywhere because everthing is so spread out. That's a problem
Since most people in Brentwood work far from the city and no good public transportation is available, you will be spending a lot of time commuting in a car and thats a big problem because car commuting has been proven to make you fatter and dumber.
You know whats going to happen when gas prices get too fuckin high or you become too old to drive in a city like Brentwood where you need to drive everywhere because you cant walk to were you want to go?
You will be fucked!
I live in a place were I dont need to use a car to go to super market. I just walk or ride a bike to the store while the Cobra collects dust in the garage. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Read the whole sentence: the stress and no "exercise, walking" will raise your blood pressure.

you act like brentwood is like living in the mountains.. pretty much all around town there's stores and gas stations close.. and you don't always have to walk or drive! you can ride bikes in brentwood too!
you should just stop bitching about brentwood and pittsburg. your not making any sense.
