[b]Re commute: I thought 1/101 is more like 1 - 1.5 hours? 4 hours you mean roundtrip?[/b] Yes that's brutal but still within my limits if I only have to do it twice per week.

Monterey to SV will be 2 hours, one way.  It takes an hour just from South SJ to MV.

I live in southern Moco, about 8 miles from the Legion Bridge.

I get recruiters call me from out of the area asking if I would be interested in a job.  When I ask them where it is, and they say that it's really close, like 15 miles from me, and then I find out it's in Tyson's, I decline saying the commute would be too much (one hour+).  They say, "How can that be.. it's only 15 miles from you."  And I say, "That's exactly why I'm declining".

I feel like you are like those recruiters.  I don't think you appreciate how hellish Bay Area traffic is.  On a good day on a weekend Monterey to MV is over an hour.

Maybe try Morgan Hill.  I have  a coworker who does the MH to MV commute. Takes over an hour, but at last it's not 2 hours.  You could also try to carpool.

However, the schools down that way aren't that great.  Much like here, you get what you pay for.  The cheaper it is, the worse the schools.[/quote]
