Bay Area has way more to offer than Albany and who says you have to sacrafice quality of living if you want to save rent? Many people in Bay Area lives in sub-urban and they simply take public transportation to get to work (mainly S.F.) or just drive for about 30 min from east bay to the heart of silicon valley.
I went to Castro Valley High School which was one of the best high school in Bay Area and that's one nice neighborhood to live too.
The rent there is about $1,000 per month for 2 bedroom apartment and with BART and highway, you can go to all part of bay area with ease.
Granted, there might be some traffic problem, but overall, the traffic in bay area isn't quite at bad as in LA or NYC..
Further more, where you are from originally has great influence when comes to choose what location to develop ones career. I know way more people that willing to stay in Bay Area after graduated from UCB or UCD rather than return to LA or other States.

Have you lived in Albany before? How can you say Bay Area can offer more than Albany can? It's only 1.5 hours from NYC. Do you have Wall Street there? Do you have Broadway there? LA is the last city I want to go. Don't compare traffic between NYC and LA. LA has no public transportation compared to NYC. More people take subway in NYC than SF area. You know how large NYC is? Don't get me wrong. Bay area is one of the only place I like in whole California.
