Apartment hunting rn - which suburbs/apartments do you all recommend in the peninsula or east bay? Couple in our late 20s, I will hv to commute to downtown sf 3x/week for work, also looking for somewhat of a social life (aka maybe a spot with a mini downtown), good food, parks, libraries, etc. clean and safe. we dont really care much about schools and stuff, just looking to try out bay area living for a year or two. Budget up to 3k

If you want to experience the bay area, don't need to worry about schools/kids, will commute to downtown SF, and want a social life with good reataurants, why not just live in SF, the core of the bay area?

Yes, I've seen the news, but A) SF isn't that bad in reality and B) there are a variety of neighborhoods that might be better for you, like Richmond and Sunset, which are quite nice while being an easy 6 mile commute downtown vs 30+ elsewhere in the bay area. Also consider Russian Hill, Fillmore and Castro/Duboce.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
