There are places in the Bay Area, outside SF, that don't actually *require* big hair, and have good schools, to boot. Personally, I'd recommed Petaluma rather than Concord, because I have personal experience with the school district there, but there are other places, closer in or with better public transport, that you might want to look into.

Just a thought. And there are actually some interesting places around Concord, believe it or not. Independant yarn stores, fiber sources, quilt shops, a couple of doll house supply stores, some pretty out-there art stores, etc. Believe it or not, some of what made SF so great has been pushed out by real estate prices, so they're in the same places you might have to move to for the same reasons.

And public education is a shame. Willie Brown, give him his due, sent his son to public school, and at one of his support meetings before his first election as mayor I spoke up for him on that issue. It's sad that even a man who believed enough in public schools to send his own son through them couldn't do anything to save them. (And, for what it's worth, he came to all the parents nights and other school assemblies. He was not just posturing, he was involved. I respect him for it, and personally like the man.)
