I think that 'parts' of the west bay may not be too out of line, but
they're less convenient. HMB and Pacifica are certainly cheaper than
Palo Alto, and I think there are a lot of people who write code in HMB.
There are parts of SF that are not totally crazy, but you'll need to
take out better life insurance, and the commute to Fremont is not
pleasant (I have a client in Fremont and I don't even try to go over
there before 10:00 AM and it still takes an hour). Neither is the
commute from HMB (I used to commute from HMB to Mountain View about 10
years ago when the traffic was acceptable and it still took over 45
minutes). A house up on Skyline is perhaps about 50% - 60% of what it
would be down the hill. And just because we're up here doesn't mean we
can afford it ;-)
