    I would try Daly City. Hayward and San Leandro can a bitch to commute from in the morning plus the bridge toll is $6 before a certain time. It's at least a hour commute in the morning when without traffic it's like a 20 minute drive. Alameda is also close enough and there are nice parts of Oakland. If you live in the East Bay commute can get pricey so it's good to eliminate distance. I hope you find a nice place and welcome to the Bay Area.

    I just found a room in Daly City I'm hopefully hearing back from the owner by tonight so we can work something out. Would be perfect!

    Is it true Hayward/San Leandro are 35 minutes away from SF through the BART system?

    Denny,

    Got the room finally. I'll be staying out in Oakland for now. As of now, I can move in anytime after July 8th. Not sure when I actually will be moving, but I'll let you know once I do. Your academy will be my first stop

    Yeah BART is more convenient and faster most of the time, depends what stop your getting off really. If you're getting off at the financial district you probably would want Montgomery or Embarcadaro or Powell Street at the furthest. It depends if you leave early enough and make all the trains on time you can get there in 35 minutes with the stops I think. I take Rockridge (in North Oakland), not sure where you live in Oakland now but I make it to the Mission in like 25 minutes pretty regularly when I worked in SF, and I think that's Denny's academy exit if you are taking BART. Hope it helps dude

    Not sure too much about the area, but the room I will be renting is in Oakland right next to Mills College. I googled the route and its says to take the BART at the Coliseum/Oakland Airport to Embarcadaro. Something along 25 mins or so? Im definitely going out there a week or so before I start work to get used to all this stuff.

    Does BART have a monthly pass or something?

    How far are you from Mills College? Not too good w/ the area but I'll be staying near there for a while. Definitely gotta give me some advice on where and where not to go. We'll definitely link up then when I get out there
