The BART goes to NE San Jose which is not close to any of the tech companies in silicon valley. You will still have to take VTA to get further into the valley.
Richmond is a ghetto, it's crime rate is right behind Oakland. Pittsburg, Antioch and Hercules have crime problems too, but not as bad as Oakland or Richmond. I'm surprised he didn't mention my area. Fairfield and Vallejo are also somewhat affordable (by Bay Area standards), but they are semi ghetto too.

Im surprised you didn't mention Castro Valley. Right next to San Leandro and Hayward, but better schools and more of a small town feel.
i know too many cities
