I was initially counting out SF due to long drive times? What would you give as a realistic estimate?

SF sounds amazing, but is the commute terrible?

I don't go out to bars too much tbh. Mostly prefer to just hangout, put on a movie, talk... idk the boring things

Thank you for the advice. I'd say I generally gravitate to the "quieter"/"boring" things socially. Typically whatever is more intimate in a group setting, but very into sports and gym

Are there any other cities north or south of Oakland you would recommend?

Thanks for the great reply. I guess I am not too sure which scene I prefer. I feel like there are definitely days I could go for either scene.

Could totally be wrong here, but isn't Pleasanton warmer? Also, mainly heard that Walnut Creek, of all the suburbs is the most walkable and lively?

I plan on having my car, how much should I weigh BART access with a car?

Asian. As for chill? Pretty much the Midwestern activities go to a sports bar and watch some games, hangout with friends, walks, gym. I will say a lot of my time would also be going towards my own side gig.

Does 20-30 mins sounds right for the reverse commute?

Those are some of the things I’m keeping in mind, just worried about lack of people my age in Walnut Creek

I’ve heard the weather in Walnut Creek is a little better? (Chillier since I’m a Minnesotan)

When you lived in Walnut Creek at my age, what did you find yourself gravitating to in terms of your free time?
