Ask HN: BART to Milbrae or 4th and King all the way?

Hi HN,

I am currently planning a move out to San Francisco to begin work in Palo Alto in july. My office is within walking distance of the Palo Alto Caltrain station.

At first I was adamant about living near the 4th & King Caltrain station in order to have a simple commute to work but one of my future roommates is trying to convince me to live near a BART station and take the alternate BART - Milbrae - Palo Alto commute.

In your experience, is the difference in quality/comfort worth it, or should I stick to my guns?

Thanks
