Reconsider moving here, unless you like 2 hour commutes. Today the Bay Bridge was closed (could be for several days) because a repair made on Labor Day weekend failed. They have been trying to fix the bridge since the earthquake 20 years ago. Tolls went up from $1 to $5 to pay for cost overruns, and it's still 5 or more years from completion. BART is OK, but overcrowded, and it doesn't serve many areas (like Alameda).
