I cant imagine its improved. There is something about lots of water and lots of bridges that really complicates day to day living... Its the same water and bridges that makes for a wonderful and unique vacation. Beautiful area but a pain to get around if you need to cross the water on a daily basis. Its all a matter of what you value most but there is something to be said for stopping at the grocery store on your way home from work or knowing that you can get home after a late night out regardless of what time you go home. With public transportation and ridiculous parking costs in the city you spent LOTS of time on foot and have to carry all of your belongings with you wherever you go. If you value a suburban lifestyle you have some hurdles in the way in certain parts of the bay area.
