Jack: Oh. That's how it works.
You sound like you are in a good place, close enough to San Fran if you want to go there, but far enough away to avoid the Chaos. 'The Delta', I've never heard that term before, but I guess it makes sense if you are way east of the Bay.
I live about 40 miles east of downtown N.O. Not far from the Mississippi line. Esplanade, always a nice drive on that avenue. The Quarter has spilled over into the Faubourg Marigny.

The delta is the confluence of the two main rivers in Calif, the San Joaquin, which come up from the San Joaquin valley, & the Sacramento river coming down from the north, the sacramento valley.. When referring to them both, it is called the central valley, which is huge..
I use to go out there fishing, over the other side of the lake. Went to Gulf pO't & Biloxi on occasion
