By contrast East Palo Alto is probably one of the cheaper, but requires a glock and a chevy Impala to live in; as well as picking your gang colors.Thanks to the dot-bust rent in some places is going down. But on the other hand a lot of landlords are trying to hold out and leaving places vacant rather than lower the rents below $10k per square inch...I've never even heard of any anti gamer sentiments here; and I'm a native of the region. You'll just be another geek and in an area flooded with tech workers that's nothing unusual (if the dot-com boom had lasted any longer, Klingon would have been added as an official language in some of the cities around here...).There's plenty of gaming shops and several local cons.Get on the local mailing list:BayRPS: <a href="http://www.bayrps.com/" target="_blank">http://www.bayrps.com/</a>Budget 1 to 2 months for your housing search; that will let you find the best option. I would recommend that if you have to use a freeway to commute try for the 280. Try to live along it somewhere, it's the lowest traffic freeway in the region. By contrast the 101 is a nightmare and if you get stuck using the 880 and then 101 expect 2+ hour commutes even if only 20 miles from work...</blockquote>
