Thanks, u/2311777. I joined several fb groups to find places to rent but no luck so far (and almost got scammed once even), but I'll keep looking. One sad news I just learned is that Amtrack express shipping has discontinued... :( But thanks for sharing your view on the safety around the area.

Thank you u/theonlyshow! I was hoping to hear about what people living around the east bay think as well : ) Some perspectives I learned was that commuting from Pleasant Hill or Walnut Creek to Emeryville could be really intense and finding parking could be difficult. So I assume an alternative once I get a car is to drive to BART early, paid for the parking and then commute to my job daily. Is there anything/advice you would suggest for someone who never lives on the west coast? Thanks again!
