this is absolutely fascinating. why cant these people just commute from pleasant hill or even lafayette? i had the same accommodations as these people and paid only 400 in pleasant hill.

Or Sacramento, as my dad and stepmom did when I was growing up, and as many of my friends and family continue to do.

Yeah, the length of the commute sucks, but taking AmTrak+BART gives you some downtime instead of sitting in traffic.
