I did a quick search there are actually quite a few new single family homes going up within 1 to 1.5 hours commute from San Jose for under 500K but not sure about the hood.

Hey if google employee’s ride a bus 90 minutes (just saying).

Yea it’s probably about commute time and schools plus further from the Ocean and SF.

Having been to SF quite a few times, I still don’t see the draw. I guess to each their own.
