Funny how a town with zoning designed for preservation of it precious little crap shack houses is actually destroying its character. …Palo Altons are making sure their children will never be able to afford to live there. …The city desperately need high denisty high rise housing downtown…
Well, those lucky few who inherit their parents’ home and their uber lovely low property tax bases can certainly live there quite comfortably. Everyone else, dream on…
One child policy will have to be put into effect…It will be like feudal times when only the first born get the property…the other kids will have to move to EPA. …lol …or as Rodney Dangerfield says, I know why tigers eat their young…
I repeat again… where do I get fitted for a Mao jacket? 
I just got this email…Maybe we are stiil in feudal times…lol
I am Lady Victoria Marylin ,
A devoted Christian suffering from a cancerous ailment. i was married to Sir James Collins an English man who is now dead. When my late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of 20 Million British pounds in his bank here in the UK. Right now my doctor has informed me that i
have few weeks to live and i have accepted my faith. With God on your side, i want you to use the said funds for charity.I have decided to
donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift to fund the upkeep and uplift the down-trodden and the
less-privilege sine i have no child and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband’s hard
earned money to be misused.I shall give you the contact of the bank in UK and a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original
beneficiary .
Hey @Elt1,
Maybe you can use that money towards the unkeep and unlifting of that Millennium Towers…
If that isn’t “charity”, I don’t know what is…
Reading about the houses on the list is hilarious, as is the title here 
£20m will maybe cover the bar bill for the attorneys on the case…I would rather give it to an old folks home for structural engineers. …
Thanks, @Whoami! I have been given orders by our Grand Puba (Manch) to sell newspapers… But it is true, ain’t it? Real estate news, around these parts (esp everyone’s darling/whipping boy city of choice - Palo Alto) is like checking out some hot, new porn…captivating to the very last drop that one gets hooked and becomes a junkie of the sordid MLS details…the ultimate happy ending results when a house sells for 25%+ over asking to some 100% cash buyer who beats out great double digit offers… (wow,…as the cigarette is lit)
Sorry ever since I went to Cal I have hated the PA snobby attutide…I have a hard time explaining it…But even Barron Park is not up to a true PA snobs standards…Menlo Park, fugetaboutit. …might as be in Hayward, at least if you are a true old PA snob…Of course my dad, who was a blue blood Cal professor, always considered Stanford second rate compared to Cal…and for sure it was 50 years ago…nobody wanted to live on The Farm
I had to tell one of those guys from Nigeria to please stop sending me so many emails announcing the passing of one of my relatives in car accidents. Thanks to those Nigerians I ran out of relatives back in Europe and Africa…
This shouldn’t be a surprise…
Yes but my fake internet relatives are noblity from England…lol
