I'm primarily remote as well. I bounce between the Bay Area and the mountains, depending on time of year. That said, lately driving reverse commute down 680 towards San Jose in the afternoon, I see all those people doing what you yourself mentioned avoiding -- multi hour commutes. In the Bay Area, heading towards Vacaville/Fairfield/the Central Valley, there isn't a real viable non-car option. So much time lost.

> In the Bay Area, heading towards Vacaville/Fairfield/the Central Valley, there isn't a real viable non-car option. The Capital Corridor Amtrak line goes from San Jose to Sacramento, up the East Bay and through Fairfield/Vacaville (where there is a stop). Its the 4th busiest Amtrak line in the country, and largely used by commuters. Connections to Caltrain in San Jose and BART in Oakland are available. No matter how you do it though, an 80+ mile commute into Silicon Valley isnt quick during commute hours.
