The total price doesn't really say much without the average income. Expensive rents with high salaries are alright.

I'd take that over a free 'rack' on a 1957 aircraft carrier. No room to put knees up, having to roll all the way over to open your lockers.

How far out are you living? Because even Modesto is getting expensive from what I hear.

You know your from the bay, when you refer SF as 'the city' and not as San Francisco or San Fran.

The great secret with SF residents (at least when I lived there) was no one had a hobby or traveled. Rent consumes every dime you make.

Don't. I used to love Cali, but it has become overpopulated and way to expensive. Unless you're making six figures at a job.

Dublin is one of the most expensive areas, with Blackhawk the prices are easily in the multimillion dollar homes. Hopefully it's a 6 figure

Company told me that's where they want me to move. And I have to be close to freeway since I will travel 90% of the time

Honestly if you don't mind commuting, go out about an hour ways, learn the traffic and with 6 figures and a cheap home you can retire early.

An hour with or without traffic?

Without. Depending on when you start coming from north at 6 it isn't that bad.i also tend to leave early from my old job.
