shrift in the Bay!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Where do you think you'll want to live? Down the peninsula or in SF?
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Not sure. I'm leaning toward SF but I haven't actually looked at anything down in the peninsula yet. I don't want to own a car, though.

Well they famously have buses which will take you from SF to your new job. I can tip you to the neighborhoods which facilitate that, though you probably already have a sense.

If you're going to go carless, commuting with bikes is common on the peninsula. But I have the feeling SF proper will be more to your liking since you're coming straight from Chitown.

Yes, I have taken those buses like the tech asshole that I am. We also have internal maps, but I am in information-gathering mode so I'll take all tips.

I do like living in a city proper, this much is true.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't know if I can envision shrift commuting on a bike.

I have some friends who relocated there in the past couple of years. They moved with toddler and pregnant, (plus going 2 salaries to 1+ school) so had different priorities, but might have insight to the relo experience and cola shift. Let me know if you want their contact info. I think they ended up out in Emeryville?

You could live out by me and commute by train!
Not really, it would be extremely impractical, but fun for me. I can't even you offer sushi near the train station, that restaurant is Italian now. But what could be more citified than the City of Suisun City? (answer: many many places. There's a cow pasture a quarter mile from downtown and the tallest building is three stories if you count the bell tower)

I just lit a fireplace match with a kitchen torch so I could light my candles. Because I couldn't get the striking surface on the box of matches to work and I knew where the torch was.
