Answer 1 :
With BART, you can get almost anywhere in San Francisco quickly. For this reason, you could live in Alameda (access to San Francisco through Fruitvale stop) Oakland (though some parts are rougher than others), Berkeley (though many parts are expensive), San Leandro, El Cerrito, Hayward, or Castro Valley (Richmond, Fremont, Orinda, Dublin/Pleasanton, Concord, Walnut Creek, and Pleasanton are all on BART routes but they may take slightly longer than half an hour to get into the city) in the East Bay, and Daly City, San Bruno, or Milbrae in the Peninsula (although service to the latter two stops after 7pm). Some cities, like Alameda in the East Bay, Vallejo in the North Bay, and Larkspur in Marin, also have ferry commute services, although sometimes ferries take longer than BART does.
Answer 2 :
It depends on how much you want to spend to rent. and what times you work. 30 minutes in traffic getting to the city is not that far out of san francisco. Bay area traffic during rush hour times 6-9am 3-7 pm is like LA traffic. Especially if you crossing one of the 8 bridges. I would recommend San Mateo, Daly City which is around 30 minutes south of the city or in a nicer area Belmont or Palo Alto (Not East Palo Alto) that is around 45 minutes to an hour. If your looking on the east bay where its a little cheaper to live but you get what you pay for, a 30 minute commute would be Oakland or Berkley. Your going to spend 30 minutes alone just crossing the bay bridge to get into the city. If your looking North then Marin, or Sausalito is 30-45 minutes. You spend most of the time on the bridge again (the golden gate) and getting into the city through the outside streets. And remember there are no freeways in San Francisco. All the freeways in the bay area end in San Francisco or run around the city. Its exactly like New York City so its gridlocked on the roads during rush hour and weekends.
