I’ve been mulling this over. I want out of SF proper, but love Marin / West Sonoma, except for the housing cost (and the fire risk). I’ve got a lot of transition in the next few years, with children leaving the nest, and a marriage that’s... perhaps not meant to last forever. I love Fairfax, but it’s housing cost approaches that of SF, and even Petaluma has become so expensive, and the fires are changing the picture more and more. But my community is in the Bay Area, and it’s hard to imagine uprooting and starting over too far away, so I like the idea of staying in a smallish town within a 2 hour drive of SF, and reasonably near the coast. Ideas are welcome!
