It takes me 60-75 minutes to get PA from my house in Dublin if I leave at 6:15 AM. Add another 30+ to get to Dublin from Tracy. Also keep in mind that East bound 580 through Dublin/Pleasanton is the 2nd worse commute in the Bay in the evening. Heading home is another 15-30 minutes longer due to leave PA around 5 PM. My guess is the round trip will take you 4 hrs on a daily basis. Sound like fun to you?

My friend drives from Stockton to SF everyday. 1 1/2 hrs on a good day. 2 - 2 1/2 hours with traffic. He drives his beater accord so the miles won't rack up on the S
Plus, when it's hot it's really hot. And when cold be sure to wear your snuggie. He loves the bay area weather

200K difference on a house, will quickly be consumed by cars, time, gas, accidents and everything else that comes with commuting. Commuting to save money doesn't work and in the long run costs more than the extra monthly on the mortgage payment.
My drive to work is 10 miles, or 15 minutes. I buy a tank every other week. Imagine filling up every few days, buying tires, consuming the motor. If you're comfortable with the full picture go for it.
