I'm pretty sure they made that comment under the assumption that your job offer was in SF. That was the impression I got reading your original comment as well.
Have you considered living in one of the many cities on the peninsula that are all extremely close to the Caltrain and BART tracks, 101 & 280 freeways, and much better schools than those in the east bay? They're also very close to the actual city you would be working in (Mountain View). Much closer than SF.
