I've been doing some browsing and I'm preparing to have to pony up $2.5k-$3k, but it just seems crazy. Commuting is fine as long as I can avoid driving (bike or Caltrain). And a neighborhood with things I can walk to. I don't need to be in the center of SF, so I've been looking around the Redwood area.

Do you mean Redwood City? That's a 1.5 hour Caltrain commute each way if you work in downtown SF. for $2.5k per month you should be able to do a lot better, and avoid the life-sucking commute.

I take that route quite often. Baby bullet is 35 minutes, and full-stop non-express train is about 70 minutes.

I'd be in Palo Alto
