Default Would an Oakland to Santa Clara commute kill me?

I currently live in SF and work in Santa Clara. I've been doing this commute, or a version of it, for over 6 years. The wife and I have a kid now and we want to make the jump from a condo to a house. It looks like the east bay is the only financially reasonable option. How bad will 11 miles on 580 E, 22 miles on 880 S and 5 miles on 237 be?

Default You cannot possibly be serious...

I have to go from Mountain View to Stanford and the traffic is already killing me.

Oakland-SC would definitely kill me dead!

Default My wife works in SF.

It cost around $400 a month to park in the financial distict, so she needs to be able to take public transit in.

Default I use to do that one...Fremont to Santa Clara, back to Fremont

If you come in real early its fine...but otherwise...still a bad commute. BTW, on the way back I went up 101 to the Dunbarton Bridge and went over that way..it was way faster to me.
