Why not move to oakland or similar? Rent is like half in the nice areas, and even less in the not so nice areas.

- CamperBob2 11y agoLife's too short to spend any more of it in Oakland than necessary.
- msoad 11y agoBecause I don't want to commute. 2 hours a day worths more than $2000/mo to me. -----
- mahyarm 11y agoIt's more like 1 hr a day on a train if you're close to a bart station. It's closer than living in the sunset for most jobs!
- JoshTriplett 11y ago> It's more like 1 hr a day on a train if you're close to a bart station. My commute currently takes 4 minutes. Any longer than 10 and I'd start searching for a closer place to live A quick search suggests that the closest home for sale near our corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley would be a 16-24 minute commute, list price $1M. Or 25-40 minutes for $600k. Assuming you commute 5 days a week, twice a day, multiply your commute by 10 to get the time per week, or ~480 to get the time per year. A one hour commute is 480 hours a year, or 20 full days (or 80 8-hour periods).
