So being a peninsula guy all my life (Menlo Park, Los Gatos) what is the pecking order east of the Caldecott Tunnel. For the peninsula I would go Atherton, Woodside, Hillsborough, Los Altos Hills, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Menlo Park.
My guess would be Alamo, Orinda, Moraga, Danville, Lafayette. But then I read things about the academics at some of the public schools being better that turns my table.
That commute is too far from Berkeley. A nightmare commute which would result in the need for an apartment nearer campus or the unfortunate Tedford scenario of sleeping and eating in your office. Not good for a man with 4 little kids.79 Bear said:OdontoBear66 said:

Speaking of peninsula, don't sleep on San Carlos. Nice family town.
I'd guess an average of about an hour and 15 minutes each way.bipolarbear said:That commute is too far from Berkeley.

It depends on what you want -- all of them have really good schools.OdontoBear66 said:

Like San Carlos, but from my years on the peninsula and having good friends and relatives north of Redwood City, it would be the cutoff for me. Great town as is Burlingame and Hillsborough, but wind and fog start becoming a factor.79 Bear said:OdontoBear66 said:

You're right, plus commute too far as stated above. Just plugging my home town.stu said:
Way too close to Stanford.
Have friends in all of those areas, and the charm of the road going out to St Marys from the freeway looks pretty nice to me. Then I see MBs hiking trails in that area and that is a plus. Big house not important. Small but 5*.maxer said:It depends on what you want -- all of them have really good schools.OdontoBear66 said:

Alamo is really big houses (and Danville too) but is much further away.
Alamo and Danville also have more fancy gated communities like Blackhawk.
Like everything, it's personal preference.
Again, he's from Danville and I would be pretty surprised if he doesn't live there.
Wind and fog is more prevalent in the Burlingame and Hillsborough area. San Carlos has great weather. Remember the old slogan from the 1960's for Redwood City, which is the next town to the south: "Climate best by government test."OdontoBear66 said:Like San Carlos, but from my years on the peninsula and having good friends and relatives north of Redwood City, it would be the cutoff for me.

Were he still at 'furd, I am sure it would. But with this opportunity I think he would drape himself in Cal gear.smh said:

Madsen seems to be really trying to ingratiate himself to Cal fans (in a sincere, not phony way). Imagine if he gets a house in North Berkeley...

We'd love to have him in Piedmont -- there are about 3 houses for sale with 4 bedrooms or more, so hopefully he likes one of them!Rtkbear said:
I'm guessing that proximity will play a big role. The commute between Berkeley and Danville takes more time than you would think (I commute between Oakland and San Ramon so I have first hand experience). Because he has young kids, he probably doesn't want to be too far away. So my guess is Piedmont, Orinda or Layaette.
Piedmont is a perfect spot for his family.maxer said:We'd love to have him in Piedmont -- there are about 3 houses for sale with 4 bedrooms or more, so hopefully he likes one of them!Rtkbear said:

My kid played in those, couldn't even hit the rim, yet had a blast!Rtkbear said:
I miss the winter basketball Rec games. My kids were horrible but it was still fun because it was super low key and everyone got to play.
Ha, thank you for the morning chuckle.BearsWiin said:
Interestingly, in 2000 or so I ran into him wandering the streets of Westwood looking at the neighborhood. I stopped him and introduced myself as a Cal grad, and he told me that he was looking for a place to live while playing for the Lakers - he couldn't decide whether to live in El Segundo near the Lakers training facility or find someplace near UCLA so he could use their facilities. So we talked housing for a bit and went our separate ways. A few weeks later I saw him on the street again as I was filling my car with gas; I waved to him while wearing my Cal sweatshirt and cap, and he walked up and shook my hand and said "Oh hey, you're the Cal guy..."
Long story short, if you run into him on the street, he'll be cool if you give him helpful housing advice.
That's a great anecdote, thanks for sharingBearsWiin said:

Cal Strong have no beef with BearsWiin. It definitely an anecdote worth mentioning.75bear said:That's a great anecdote, thanks for sharingBearsWiin said:

I heard Ben Braun the other day on Sirius Pac-12 radio say that he still lives in Berkeley and absolutely loves it. Even has a kid in Berkeley High.75bear said:
This post is half jest, yet half not. Where a coach chooses to live says a lot about him and his cultural imprint on the program.
Will Mark choose to live nearby (Piedmont?) so he can be at the practice facility as much as possible? Will Mark choose to set up shop through the tunnel in Lamorinda? Or does he go back to his roots in the farther East Bay (Danville/Alamo/Blackhawk), where the commute will be more intense and longer?
Cuonzo went the close/Piedmont route, while Tedford went the far/Danville route.
Now that the coaching decision has been made, we need to move on to these more important subject matters.
