I lived in Palo Alto in 2012 and even then, Palantir's building collection seemed a little excessive. I'm mostly happy that they're doing well...but every time I've gone back, it feels less like the already-strange downtown it was and more like a Palantir campus. I joked with friends then that Palantir's only real business model was buying Palo Alto so they could sell it later.
