You could easily live in Berkeley/Oakland in a nice 1 bedroom for 1700/mo and have a <20 minute commute. No roommates, nice neighborhood, probably even a washer/dryer if you're a little lucky.
If you work near a BART station, it's a faster commute than many parts of SF.
It's clear that the downsides are minimal to you, and the upsides worth it. I understand that. But you're freaking crazy thinking you have to live 2 hours away to find more reasonable prices. There are hardly even 2 hour lines on BART. Ditto on the safety issue; just know what parts of Oakland to avoid and you're all set.
