Poopernickel posted:question for bay area folks - traffic in sf is terrible, especially downtown; avoiding driving is going to be the biggest factor. that probably means either taking bart across the bay, taking caltrain up the peninsula, or taking bart/muni within sf. you can definitely afford to live in sf if you want. i really like a lot of the outlying neighborhoods in sf that aren't high on the tech bro list, like out in the richmond or around the outer mission. if you can say where exactly work would be, what you like to do, and whether you have kids or something we can probably help more, if you're still thinking about it

I've got a wife and a toddler. We'd like to live someplace family-friendly, so no 1000 square-foot condo. We used to be pretty into restaurants and bars, but that was before the kid came along. These days, I'd prioritize "good place to be a kid" over "good place to be an adult". I was thinking about Richmond, Oakland, or San Mateo - or maybe somewhere out in the burbs like Walnut creek if daily BART is realistic.

keep in mind that "the richmond", a district of san francisco where you can live, is very different from "richmond", a city in the east bay where you should not live

Walnut Creek is probably fine, I don’t know. for family friendly you might want to go further south on the peninsula and the South Bay. from San Mateo to Los Gatos should be mostly good. the train ride from Sunnyvale to sf is about an hour.

if you want family friendly, my building in belmont has a few vacant units, you can get a 2 bedroom for around $3k/mo. then again you said "no 1000 square foot condo". what does family friendly mean to you? because we have several kids in this building, there's a really nice park across the street, good school districts, etc. but no, you do not have a private yard for your kid to play in, or a white picket fence. if you want a whole house, you are gonna pay a lot more, and you'll need to go quite far south or quite far east to find anything truly affordable, even at 200k. maybe technically you can pay the $7-8k/mo for a house in san mateo but do you really want to? it sucks to make so much yet still feel constrained by housing prices

okay, so anywhere you could reasonably call the financial district is within reasonable walking distance of bart/muni trains. whether caltrain is reasonable depends on exactly where work is and how much tolerance you have for walking. someday they will finish the caltrain extension into the transit center and the fourth avenue subway, but i wouldn’t plan around them in the short term i don’t know much about downtown richmond (the city) other than received wisdom about it being a very poor city with a lot of gang activity. my grandparents used to live on the richmond outskirts in el sobrante, and i can tell you that those neighborhoods are a very quiet low-density suburb with some great parks for kids, and it’s still quite cheap for the bay area, but your commute would be pretty long because you’d have to drive to the bart park-and-ride in el cerrito. also there aren’t a ton of apartments, you might have to rent a house mostly though i would encourage you to revisit your thinking about a “1000-square-foot condo”. that’s like a two-bedroom apartment, which is perfectly reasonable for a young couple with a toddler as long as you’re not trapped inside. if you have more kids, then yes, you‘ll outgrow it as they get older, but there’s real virtue in just renting somewhere adequate in the meantime to give yourself a chance to explore neighborhoods and figure out what you want without the pressure of feeling tied to a huge investment or needing to make a decision in a couple of weeks

americans are broke brained about house size. i remember one yosposter years ago who owned like a 5000 sqft house in the middle of some california hell desert for just him and his wife and two toddlers and he had several unfurnished rooms that he hadn't set foot in in months. see also cars, where people have an eight pound 20" long baby and immediately realize they need a 6300lb 8-seat SUV with a two ton towing capacity

Very true. Also $newjob is full-remote until next summer, and that's probably true across the industry right now. So having a quiet home-office is pretty key.

i think we get paid more because our job entails a lot of self loathing it’s like danger money for mental health with that said, it’s loving disgusting that I earn 4 times what my mother does when she’s a 40+ year tenured nurse, helping people with serious mental health issues in the community, while all I do is wave my hands around and link people to docs via email all day

President Beep posted:oh you like houses so much? name every board. cmu has a tradition of student orgs building little booths for kids for the spring carnival. one year the org i was in made a booth with a curved wall, so we had to label the wall segments so they'd end up in the right place. as we were a soviet-themed org making a booth themed after a russian folktale i chose to do that by scrawling various russian women's names on the back of each piece. after the carnival they were disassembled, but the surface material was a relatively expensive thin plywood, so they've held onto it and keep reusing it, apparently rediscovering the names on the back to general confusion year after year anyway: anya, katerina, yvgenia, ...

i unfortunately have to get a larger house for my gf and i to move in together because we have a 5 cats and a corgi between us. as much as she and I could easily live in an 800 sq ft 2/1 or smaller, 5 cats would not be very happy.

 he’s chilling next to me at the moment. little dude got fat from me overfeeding him and leaving him with unfettered access to litter boxes. he was over 36 lbs at his heaviest. he’s on a diet now and has slimmed down to 31.6. he’s on track to be at his goal weight in 4-6 months at a pound a month.
