What's it like to live in Sausalito?

Sausalito started out as a Portuguese fishing village. Englishmen who sailed into the harbor built the houses in the hills, with expert craftmanship. There was a whiskey distillery in the far end of town and they built the pipes and ran them through the ground to the wharf. Fisherman catches were picked up on the wharf, a very long dock where you could board the ferry as well. There were about four different beaches you could swim in on the waterfront. Valley Beach in Hurricane Gulch had a wooden dock you could swim out to. The Fountain in the center of town is from the 1910 Worlds Fair. Growing up there, they used to put colored bubble bath dye in the fountain. We would swim in it and climb the trees in the park. Some of the hills were used for cardboard sliding before the newer houses filled in. All the brown shingled houses and carefully crafted beautiful gardens are all still there. There are sets of stairs that run from the fountain in the center of town all the way up to the top of the hills. The views are spectacular. The walks and climate changes are like none other. It was a wonderful place to grow up. And still is. Most of the tourists don't go up in the hills and don't reach the side streets all that often.

Living in SF vs Sausalito vs Tiburon

Sausalito is beautiful but overrun by tourists during summer. Groceries and everything else is expensive there. But it’s a quick trip to the city and points north . Except when everyone is trying to get in or out of town. The ferry is fun for going to SF and you can take the subway/Bart most places from the ferry terminal.
San Rafael had more diversity and shopping options, its more affordable and less touristy than Sausalito.
I have never been on Tiburon so can’t really comment but seems like a bunch of wealthy retirees from what I can see.
