Damn near any where in the penninsula is gonna cost a grip... san mateo, foster city, south S.F., Daly city, San Bruno, Burlingame etc, the only place you could get out in the 415 or 650 for cheap is in the straight ghetto...... Oakland is cooh though, its hella close to the city, shit i bet you could get a cheap ass apt in west oaklands deserted ass neighborhoods like ghost town or dogtown, but as to go as far as antioch or pittsburg that would be kinda far, you'll just end up kickin it out there.........
