First, I can't offer local knowledge for the Bay area.

You may want to use the Interactive TV Maps tool to generate a more precise TVFR.

That said, the first TVFR provided clearly says that you have little hope of reliable reception of KCRA. You have interference from KGO-real 35, KICU-real 36 and KFSF-real 34. Even if that was not the case, a noise margin of -13.9 and a 2-edge path make the situation very difficult.

A 10 element high-VHF antenna (or stacked set of two or four) may be able to see KSBW-real 8. You'd be gambling a bit.
