There's been longstanding complaints about how SF cops live in outer suburbs and exurbs. One issue is that they are seen by some as unsympathetic to city residents, and another is that they can't help out if a disaster occurs in the middle of the night like they could if they were not 50 miles away.

There have to be some moderately conservative cop-firefighter neighborhood in the core Bay Area.

If there are, I cannot think of them.

I don't think SF has residency requirements for municipal workers, right? Maybe some white, non-wealthy areas in Contra Costa? Places like Danville or Black Hawk?

Danville and Blackhawk are fairly wealthy. SFPD officers make good money, but unless they purchased their home decades ago, not good enough to move into horse country.

I would say a better bet would be Dublin, Pleasanton(also fairly wealthy), Livermore, Mountain House and Tracy in that area.
And Brentwood and Oakley in far eastern Contra Costa.

I would imagine SF cops these days live in places like Antioch, Vallejo, and Tracy. I don't think they are numerous or concentrated enough to impact the local politics. I knew a couple of firefighters who lived in Tracy.
