[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m one of the pps who says you can’t afford it. Even with your spouse working. We make twice the amount you mentioned and are desperately looking to get out. We own, but rents are not markedly different from mortgage payments in most parts of the Bay Area.

The more socially conservative parts of the BA are also going to be further out, so you should negotiate for at least some remote work to save yourself a miserable commute. You’ll want to look at Walnut Creek, the Lamorinda area, and anywhere inland. The further east you are the more conservative, as a general rule.

But I am serious when I tell you that salary is not going to get you the quality of life you think it will.[/quote]

The company does partial remote, so I will need to commute maybe twice per week. So renting a bit further out is not something I would not consider.
I'd rather not go much inland though. Might consider renting further south, like Santa Cruz or near San Jose if it makes difference in rent. But I still want a safe neighborhood (like here in Fairfax), and my kids not brainwashed with liberal ideologies in school, and just learn their math, language arts etc.[/quote]
