Colma is a great place if you're looking for a nice place away from the noisy city, but still be close to it. It has a great train and bus commute system which makes it easier for those that don't drive or helping the elderly get to places. Colma is extremely small compared to the other suburb Daly City, but if you want to go San Francisco its just a BART ride away. Colma hosts over 8 cemeteries so it's a very quiet place to live at, but the nightlife in Colma is to die for. Overall Colma is a place if you need to take the bus somewhere, but I hope that finally fix the town hall. It's been in renovation for a couple of years, without any real results.
