...and commute time. The mission and 24th price quoted at $2.8k is a 15 minute commute to downtown SF compared to a 51 minute commute from the Milbrae at $1.8k. That's $12k over a year compared to 37 work days of extra commute time, which is more than a month and a half of work days over the course of the year. Starting tech salary for a new college grad is what, $110k? With all the free time in the world, it might be worth it, but go up from there and it quickly gets questionable.
- dllthomas 12y agoAlthough commute by transit isn't entirely wasted. Turning some time into dedicated "you should be reading now" time is almost worth paying for. You are still broadly correct, though - people underweight the importance of a short commute.
