If your office is in San Jose, how bad is it to buy a house in Oakland/Berkeley hills? I love the cute houses there on the hills with a view but I know that the commute will be bad (over 1 hour). Also I kinda hate Fremont area as it has no characters. Also I cannot afford the peninsula.

I used to commute San Jose to Walnut Creek regularly about 15 years ago it took an hour and a half. I was going to see a girl I liked so the time wasn’t that noticible.

Going to work would be miserable.

Try Campbell, Santa Clara or
for cute you can look at Lost Gatos and Saratoga if you can swing it.

Those areas are pretty expensive too....

Future will be 3 times a week in the office FYI

yeah I wouldn't do it then, that's a loooong commute tbh

How much do you hate sitting in traffic???

I would definitely not buy a house out there lol

I havent heard any good things about it so I can't really advocate for it but I also have never lived there!

How long do you see yourself staying in this role? If the house feels more permanent than the job I'd go for a house in your preferred area but work on a role the makes for a shorter commute.

Commute will be 2+ hours no doubt

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
