[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the Bay Area. I would wait to buy. Neighborhoods vary a lot, and most people don't live in the city for various reasons. People are correct that Oakland or Alameda can be a faster commute to downtown, since Muni runs infrequently. The SF schools are also all assigned by lottery, so you could end up with a long school run as well. Moving south to San Mateo can give you better schools and more space, as well as access to CalTrain. I am a big advocate of city living, but SF had some unique challenges for families. The playgrounds are off the hook though. Equipment imported from Sweden. FYI to the rest of you, charter school spots can only be awarded by lottery, as per federal law.[/quote] Except when the lottery is limited by income and whether parents went to college, see Preuss school up thread.[/quote]
