Caltrain, Silicon Valley's commuter train system, is okay. Then it's gonna get slightly worse? Then it's gonna get really good! You should probably just read the post, it explains it better.

How does transit availability play into California's legendarily expensive housing market? The answers may surprise you, and unfortunately also me, a California renter!
