The official poverty line is $250k household income in Palo Alto.

  I believe this is a misinterpretation of a news story about Palo Alto considering subsidizing housing for households making under $250k. It is not the poverty threshold, it is just a hypothetical cutoff for qualifying for housing subsidization in one housing plan that Palo Alto considered.

    Which is still nuts... a quarter million a year and you qualify for subsidized housing.. yet they won’t build condos.

      Makes sense if you let the locals control zoning decisions, if you have a house in your nice quaint suburb and are extremely selfish you probably would try to block condo developments.

      You don't qualify for it. They considered it. They didn't actually enact that plan.
