I've been in Oakland, SF, Seattle and now am in some far (1h away) suburb (exurb?). I feel like the quality out here is good, but the stuff to do is smaller scale. Biking is safer and the city (Boston) is a short train (or drive) away. Similar sentiment from a friend in Antioch (CA). But if I had to commute daily. Hell no.
