I disagree that it is a "1.5 to 2 hour drive" to Silicon Valley. Except for peak times, it is under an hour to say Palo Alto.

I can get from SOMA to Sand Hill in 40 minutes. I can't imagine Berkeley to Dumbarton Bridge to Palo Alto is much longer.

I just checked the public transit, and it's about 1.5 hours (BART to Union City, then bus to Palo Alto). So that's also viable, I'd say.
