Palo alto has their school district. Rewind 20 years and Menlo Park and Los Altos were more desirable places and more expensive places to live than Palo Alto. Houses are nicer there as well (particularly MP). What does PA have that these two cities don't? What is seen as the most desirable school district in the area. That's the pitch used to sell properties to overseas investors as well.
