For example, the Golden Gate Bridge is an awesome structure, but I doubt it would improve my everyday life very much.

True, unless you live north of it which you won't. The Bay Bridge, on the other hand, will have significant effects on you if you live in SF or Oakland/Berkeley. It is the primary nexus of massive traffic jams during rush hour (and at other times) that you will be contending with if you drive anywhere, and doubly so if you plan to drive over it.

Thanks for the info. I am hoping to avoid having to drive on a regular basis.

To avoid these traffic jams, you can take BART, the local subway which goes beneath the bay. Bikes & kick scooters are allowed on BART, for what it's worth.
