Well, northern California is a large area, I've checked the area where I grew up (its along I-80, about 70 miles from SF but it would be an awful commute) and its only about 10-20% more to rent a house there than where I am now, but you're right, as far as I can tell, about the Bay Area proper doubling housing costs... and yeah, lol I've been through Richmond enough and know its not somewhere I'd feel comfortable living

If I had a flexible schedule and worked in SV I would choose to live down by Santa Cruz but that's not necessarily going to be cheap, either. If I was working in SF I would just live there and deal with the smaller space. You could also take a look at some of the unfashionable options like Daly City, Colma or South SF.
