Possible move to San Fran

Might be relocating to San Francisco sometimes this year, HOPEFULLY! :cool:

Never been to the West Coast so I wanted to see if you guys could give me some advice, suggestion, etc. The job that I am currently going for is in the Financial District in San Fran, but I looked up the apartments in the city and its too much mula right now. Any suggestions on nearby towns that are easy commutes to San Fran? Zach from 10th Planet Allentown gave me the heads up on 10th Planet San Francisco, so I'll definitely be coming to you guys if this move happens.

Let me know, Thanks guys

Depends on your budget if you wanna live in the South Bay, than Daly City, San Mateo, Redwood City are all real nice and you wouldn't have to pay the $4-$6 bridge toll everyday but it is more expensive to live on that side of the Bay. The East Bay (while less charming) consists of Oakland, Richmond, El Cerrito, San Leandro, Alameda and Hayward. Any further your commute while feel like it takes forever. I was raised in Alameda, great place, smaller town, very centralized between Oakland and San Francisco. But for an East Bay city it is safer, but more expensive around $1,200-$1,500 a month for a one bedroom apartment. Hope this helped :)

Is Hayward that bad? They were trying to recruit me for a grad school program at CSU:EB, but the place looked too rinky dink for me to bother with.

The commute from Hayward would take you at least 45 minutes to an hour and a half if there's traffic

No, Hayward isn't bad, there are worse parts of Oakland honestly, and CSU: EB is kind of known for being an easy school to get into and doesn't really have a great reputation compared to CAL or San Jose State, it's just the commute takes awhile. It's not the greatest city in terms stuff to do either. I would go with Denny's suggestions or Alameda. 880 and 580 traffic can get pretty crazy in the mornings and afternoons.

Damn, yea thats too far of a commute. Oakland sounds nice, I gotta set up a trip out there beforehand to check out the locations. The job was offered already and I accepted. I gotta pass some federal background stuff and clearances, if I do, then I'll be there soon. We'll see how it plays out. But thanks for the advice and keep me in your prayers!

Yeah, I could tell east bay was easy to get into, especially with how hard they recruited me for the grad program lol

You are better off going to CAL (Berkeley), UC Davis, UCSF (if your into the medical field), Stanford, San Francisco State, University of San Francisco, Santa Clara University and San Jose State. There are so many good schools out here. I unfortunately know quite a few people that have degrees from East Bay that are currently unemployed or working for a job they are overqualified for, not me man, always gotta reach for the top especially for education :)
