I know the Bay area, too. Lived in Martinez, commuted by BART to the city, walked to my office building on California Street right next to Chinatown until the office was moved to Walnut Creek (CEO lived in Walnut Creek, what a surprise.......).
I've moved a lot; kids always accused me of not being able to hold a job.
Thought about it a bit and came back to go on the record because someday someone wil be questioning when I respnd to a post with "I've lived there"......
Born, raised, first jobs in Cleveland, Oh
Relo'd to Lakeland, Fl
Then lived in Monroe, CT, commuted to work in Greenwich, Ct
Back to Lakeland, FL
Off to Denver, CO
South to Albuquerque, NM
"Go West young man!" to Martinez, CA, commuted to work in San Francisco, CA until office moved to Walnut Creek, CA
Put on my mucklucks, moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada for 5 long winters (hits -40, -55 or worse with windchill)
Retired to Rio Rancho, NM. Think I'm going to stay put........
Works out to a good tad above 10,000 miles in relocations.
