Gay-friendly?? Heck, it's one of the friendliest areas to a huge
variety of sex and gender needs and choices! And, no, i won't go into
details here :-)

And pretty good for the handicapped, too. I won't go into details,
but a wide variety of issues are accommodated both in public and
private where i live in Alameda County (including public transit
buses with lifts), and other areas around here. There are several
people active in the SCA in the immediate area in chairs who attend
camping events, including at least one comparatively young princess
(late 20's, i think). We always have *at least* one extra large
handicapped porta-potty at small SCA events, and one in every
porta-potty bank at larger events.

I suspect that if i move somewhere else, i might discover all the
things i have been taking for granted and not even realizing.

No place is perfect, but some places are more perfect than others :-)
