"Bay Area...ish"
Livermore is hot in the summer, cold in the winter, suburban, and kind of far from San Francisco and the coast, but it is good for one very unique thing - it provides a reasonably affordable place to live that is safe, comfortable, and in the Bay Area.
There are some other perks to this town, including wineries, proximity to Mount Diablo, Rose Peak, and other great outdoor activities, and lots of sunshine. The downtown area is actually pretty cool, and all things considered, traffic isn't too bad. 580 can get you right to Oakland in a half hour, and is a gateway to Yosemite and the Sierras.
If you are looking to live anywhere in the Bay Area and are on a tight budget, you may want to consider Livermore.
