You're within 2 hours of SFO living there so even if the Bro does shrink and you end up on reserve for a long time you'll still be sitting at home on reserve. I'd even argue that it shrinking could be beneficial to you living in base on reserve. I was on reserve in FAT when the base started shrinking and moving flying over to SFO and I went almost 3 full months without flying a single flight. I almost had to go back to sim for landings.
Even if they fully close SFO and force you to commute to LAX which probably won't happen during your two year seatlock that would be a better commute from OAK than MSP or ORD. I'd rather sit at home getting paid than commute to MSP and sit in a crashpad not getting paid personally.
