I'm in exactly this boat. I moved here from SF due to rising costs and a long commute, partly because this is where my job is and I thought I'd be able to save up for a house here. Six years later, my rent has gone up a bunch (thanks, lack of rent control and overheated housing market) so not only have I not been able to save that much, but most decent houses here are now way out of my price range. If my landlord raises the rent again I'll have to move to Concord and have a much longer commute. Sigh.
