Salesforce folks - where do you guys live and how you commute to the tower

Hello Salesforce colleagues. I will be joining Salesforce, San Francisco in few days. Wanted to get some insight on best places to stay and commute to the salesforce tower.

Location? I am guessing nyc. Best places Brooklyn, ny and Newport, Hoboken, exchange place nj.

Sorry. Updated the location. It’s San Francisco.

Ewwww, that's a city of homeless bummers (nyc slang) and human feces on the streets and sidewalks. Do you really want to work there?

Oracle ihba OP Jul 8, 2019

I understand. So, l am not considering SF as place to move to

I would recommend living in sf. Commute time is a b*tch otherwise. There are nice parts of sf, very nice actually

Oracle ihba OP Jul 8, 2019

Which parts in sf are nice?

South Bay. Salesforce shuttle

I am set to join Salesforce too. I heard there is a shuttle from South bay but I'm not sure what are the exact pick up points. I saw one pick up point near SJC airport somewhere. But otherwise, bullet to SF station and then bike or bus. Or cal train to milbrae and then bart to embarcadero. Both options will take anywhere between 1hr 15mins and 2 hrs. 🤷‍♂️

Oracle ihba OP Jul 8, 2019

Shuttle stops are at San Mateo, Mountain View, Cupertino, Santa Clara

Is there a map of some sort with the precise pick up spots?

Lots of people live in East Bay and take Bart. Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Castro Valley all 30ish minutes on the train

You read my mind. OP if you want to stay close to nature and not commute 1.5 hrs each way.. then all these locations will work for you! Walnut creek has the best downtown though!! Castro valley and lafayette are more sleepy. But castro v is only 15 mins away from towns like dublin and pleasanton with lots of good restaurants and shopping joints.

If you want nature look at Marin in the north bay. You can take the ferry to work each day.

I work from home in Brooklyn, check-in with Bryant Park about once per month and visit tower approx quarterly.
