I guess I'm just wondering if there is any regular and consistent
"personality" differences between Bravo Approach regions throughout
the country, and if my comfort in Bravo is pes without even asking, and for no real reason). I do the bayshore
freeway transition probably three or four times a week without so much
as a batted eyelash from ATC.

a particular control area that just happens to be very 'nice'?

Clearances for VFR / Bravo airspace transitions seem to vary widely
depending on the facility. While traveling on VFR x-c's I have been
cleared into Bravo many times. On the other hand, I have been flying
in the Chicago ORD area for 10+ years now, and have had exactly 1 VFR
Bravo transition, and that was at 1 in the morning.
