Default coming over from the Chicago forum. anyone here live near Dublin, CA?

i was curious to know anyone can provide me with some details on how cost of living in Dublin or surrounding areas is?

good place to live? eat? drink? have fun? relax? calm? weather? airports? far from SF?

i'll take anything at this point. TIA

Default Great place to live but high cost of living.

Snow is 3 hours. Beaches are 1 hour away. SF is 30 min. Summers temp is 90-100 sometimes higher. Winter is anywhere from 30s at night to 50s during the day. Coming from Chicago, you'll be wearing shorts.

Default Hey dood, plannin on movin out here?

Dublin's a little removed from SF (traffic can be quite bad), but as long as you don't have to drive the commute, it's not terrible.

They're really developing the surrounding area, so there's a a lot around - mostly the suburban sprawl mix of housing developments/corporate parks/malls.

Pretty central to everything, though. Crapple lives out there, but don't know if he exists any more.

Where you looking? Sybase? (I don't know what else is there).

Default Next to San Ramon and Pleasanton CA

Pleasanton is more expensive..of the three..but they are all next to each other...traffic is bad near there...680 freeway...so if you are going there...get a place near where your gonna work...as close as possible. Meraj, you can call me if you want more details...

Default BD! long time no post!

well i havent decided on making any move yet, but there is a pretty small to good chance, a position of major interest is opening in that area, and i have an interview or two set up.

dont know much about the area, and can only ask for real life experience to compare it against chicago.

what airport is easiet to fly into and get to Dublin in a direct way? oakland or SFO? probably not san jose...?

as sad as this is, i would be looking for more of a suburban life style, since the wifey and i are sick of city life (as we are in the northside of chicago right now).
