alisonli,

i have an ex-coworker who lives in san leandro with his wife. he was relocated from canada maybe about 10 yrs ago and their kids were grown, so they didn't care about the schools at all.
the houses there are huge and at very low price compared to other areas in the bay area. however, it's "so-so" in terms of safety.
there're more chinese in a part of san leandro.

by the way, the san leandro chinese christian school is quite popular and strong in academics. i know someone who teaches there, but she doesn't like living in that area.

Alisonli,

I think the area around Oakland airport is kinda mid class la. However, Alameda (which is about 10 minutes from Oakland airport) is a better area to live ... especially the area called Bay Farm ... of course the price is higher than San Leandro.

In this period, alot of houses in Bay Area dropped back to a reasonable price, so I think your relative may able to find a fine house with inexpensive $$.

As I know, there should alot of Chinese in San Leandro. In general, I think San Leandro is not bad, but just like other cities in US ... some area is better but some area you may not want to buy a house there.

Are you thinking to move there?

picniclaw,

i'd taken a class at foothill college couple years ago. i didn't pay attention to see if there's bus stop nearby.
i know there're bus stops at de anza college in cupertino and west valley college in saratoga. so, i think there might be bus stop at foothill college too. but meanwhile, foothill college is in los altos hill which is an expensive area to live (much more expensive than mountain view and sunnyvale).
mountain view and sunnyvale are both nice area to live, except that there're gangs at the fremont high school in sunnyvale. u might not wanna live closed to that high school.

by the way, the public transportation in here is not as popular as that in HK. i think u might need a car if u don't live in San Francisco, unless u live in the dormitory which is usually available at a 4-year college.

i suggest u to call the school to find out more about the public transportable access at the campus.

I have been living in Mountain View for 4 years and I've also lived in Sunnyvale for 4 years before that. Both places' 治安 are fine. If it's in Mountain View, it depends which district you gonna live. There's an area with a lot of rental apt (more hispanic immigrants live there) - not necessarily bad... just different style.

I don't like the public transportation system in this area. It really depends where do you live and see if it happens to be close to the bus/train station. If the public transportation route is good from your home to the school, then public transportation is ok. If the bus/train station is not close to the place you live or if you need to transfer a few times, then it can get quite inconvenient.

I once took buses from Sunnyvale to Palo Alto's Standford mall, gee.. it took me more than 2 hours + with the wait and transfer of buses... If I drive, it won't take more than 25 minutes.

How old is your daughter?

Thank you rose-mag "EE".

Time flies. I still remember very clear what happened 362 days ago.

Matthew still can't walk by himself yet, but he love to walk so much. Also, he though himself is a big b ...

I'm also not sure if we should throw a birthday party to Amanda, possibly a small dinner with family and close friends. Amanda knows to talk a little bit. It's really sweet to hear her say mama, lielie, papa, paulpaul...

Yes, many of the preschool requires kids to be fully potty trained, it means no help for pull down and up the pants, no help on wipping the butt....so I'm worry that Spencer is not able to be trained at that time. Some preschools accept kids of 2 years old without being potty trained but the ones I enrolled Spencer in do not have vacancy for him yet. The one accepted him needs him to be potty trained. I'm going to enroll Amanda to preschool soon as the competition in SF is crazy. Some even apply before the baby borns.
