I know there are some good schools in the Fremont area, and I can understand the appeal of Berkeley. Being a transplant from the East Coast though, I don't know what the East Bay has to offer.

Admittedly, that was a long time ago. :-) The Asian-American population has grown tremendously. When I did training runs for the wrestling team, I ran through ranches and saw horses and cows. In the area around my high school in Newark is an Asian shopping and restaurant area - one of a number in Newark. I recall that at my high school reunion, most of my white classmates had moved away, and couldn't afford to live in Newark any more. Cities like Union City and Fremont are heavily Asian. Another way to look at the demographic change in the East Bay is to study the story of Mission San Jose High School. Mission San Jose High School in Fremont was once a football powerhouse. As it grew more heavily Asian (attracted by its good academics), the football was disbanded for a time because of lack of interest. They are really good in tennis and badminton though - very popular with Asian-Americans. I grew up in Newark and Fremont in the East Bay, and things have changed heavily since my youth.

Like a lot of natives of SF, the East Bay doesn't exist in my mental geography. That commute over the bridge might as well be the Berlin Wall. East Bay?
