Edit: Oh, heh. I mis-read your statement. Regardless, I'll keep my original comment below. Do with it what you will.

1) 6-figures is middle-of-the-road when it comes to meeting living expenses in SV. You will never own an urban house (and will likely not own a suburban house) on that salary in the area.

2) Have you, like, ever ridden in a big bus before? They're pretty nausea-inducing and tend to get stuck in the same traffic that every other ground vehicle gets stuck in. Their only advantages are traffic reduction and (maybe, if you can fight the nausea) the ability to catch up on email during your commute in.

3) I did the commute-down-the-peninsula thing for a couple of years. It was also pretty miserable and not very cheap (but far cheaper than owning, parking, and maintaining a car). I can't argue that Caltrain is worse than these buses, but I can argue that they're both pretty miserable.

I'm not really sure what to make of this!

You're not sure what to make of what?

Well if you misread my comment but don't tell us what you thought it said, I can't put your response in context.
