Palo Alto is a great small town/comfortable suburb currently being Californicated for the further enrichment of a few and at the
expense of those who are not rich and used to be able to survive by doing the unwanted chores of the rich.
I agree with the Palo Alto Online editorial:
"There is no constituency other than commercial development interests supporting new office development in Palo Alto, and every
square foot of new office development approved in the city makes our housing shortage and road congestion worse."
Couldn't be said any simpler.
If the City Council had a clue and some gumption, it would ban all commercial development for the next five years or until there
is sufficient AFFORDABLE/BMR/Low cost housing to house all the middle class and working class people who've been evicted in the
last five years.
Although the present situation bears many resemblances to the beginnings of the French Revolution, I continue to argue against and
object to those who insist on eating the rich.
House the poor now!
