A couple of other things I didn't tell you when we were on the phone. 1) When Brian and I were driving around there, we saw some housing (town houses) for sale. We got the number and called. They were going for $337,000. (Actually, I should say "it" since there was only 1 left.) Anyway, I think investing in real estate presently is a bad idea, but it's something to think about in the future. 2) When Brian and I were driving around there, we saw a "for rent" sign. It's at 722 "B" St. in . The chick (CWP Property Management, 510-352-6310) said that it wouldn't be available 'til after the 13th. I didn't ask further details, but it might be something to think about.
