Travel times from Fremont to the 1st SF stop is about 45 - 50 minutes. Assuming no police activity, medical emergency or BART equipment problem ( you might have heard they have no clue wtf is wrong ? ) .

BART parking is full pretty early ( 7:30 am ) and trains are usually standing room only by the 2nd stop and by the 4th or so its crammed standing.

I am leaving in Oct. I dont plan on paying 3k+ a month ( 1100 sq ft 3BR/2BTH ) with a patch of grass for a yard and having to plan my times to move around commuting hours ( forget heading anywhere nice on the weekend as everyone else is too ). I am 5 minutes away from a BART station by car ( 15 - 20 by bike )

The beach is wonderful, Santa Cruz is nice. the area is great. I have been here 6 years and I am starting to feel like a caged rat ready to bite the other rats for absolutely no reason :)
