So it looks like we may have to relocate because the landlords are going through bankruptcy, divorce and foreclosure and the bank is already the new owner for a while now of the place we live in.  The important thing is that my daughter finish her high school year, but we are seriously considering parts of the East Bay closer to San Francisco that might work better for us, like Emeryville.  We’ve done some cursory review, but part of the appeal is that it would be more urban, a shorter commute, would be convenient if she ended up going to Berkeley after two years at JC, it’s exactly 22.1 miles from there to Danville, where my sister lives, and 22.1 miles to southern Hayward, where my Mom lives (in another direction).

Various challenges include what to do with my hot tub, which I’ve only had for a year and a half.

There is a small possibility that my mother’s fiancé may be interested in buying the house, in which case, I would be able to stay there and not have to go through all of this drama, but I can’t count on that unlikely contingency.
