>parks,

Been to a lot of very nice parks out here, nearly every city has one or more. Some of which are huge with large trails.

>transportation,

You might be confusing the Bay Area (or perhaps even LA) with all of California in general. I'm from San Diego originally. Public transportation there is a joke, plain and simple. BA and LA are both special in that regard.

>and publicly available goods

What is this?
