hi leila+c > this may be a little off topic. But why/how did you pick Kenya? The reason I ask is because I grew up there and I am curious how Kenya factored into your decision to outsource..
Having said that - good luck with the project. I know Kenya has a great entrepreneurial spirit & I am sure the developers will be a great asset to your startup.'
At the risk of sounding like a certain Quack Dr. on TV who just uses his first name (Dr.Phil) .... Perhaps the $90 is a stop gap measure to avoid discussing some concerns he may have about the working relationship terms & conditions moving forward -- happens all the time.
Don't discount Fremont/Union City (Maybe even Hayward) - its central; crime is low @ least in Fremont; and Hayward is making a great effort to revamp their downtown. UC is bland - but convinient.
