Palo Alto is one of the most desirable areas to live in ... why? It's because of smart zoning rules.

Palo Alto is one of the most desirable areas to live in ... why? It's because of smart zoning rules.
- apsec112 10y agoActually, the exact opposite. Central Palo Alto was built before World War II, when zoning codes were nonexistent, or much less strict. Most of Silicon Valley was built afterwards, when zoning mandated cookie-cutter suburbs, sterile office parks and acres of parking lots, and is much uglier.
- mahyarm 10y agoIt's more because of stanford, the jobs and the schools, which is about people and not zoning laws. There are plenty of places that are nicer to live and nicer looking than palo alto. And I've lived there for years.
- blazespin 10y agoThere's nowhere that is nicer than downtown palo alto.
