Fairfax is definitely a unique place, but I like it. To answer your question, I'm at UC davis now but I'm still in Marin when I visit high school friends and family (obviously).
Being also from the Bay Area (east bay), I actually am not the biggest fan of Marin. Its cool to visit and shit, but I couldnt live there... too yuppy for my taste... Plus I wouldnt be there very often anyway even if I did live there.. Id be surfing at Stinson and hiking in Pt. Reyes all the time... Well... in the summer.
