I own a house worth single digit millions in a neighboring town to Palo Alto.
The thing is, the life is exactly the way I want it. There's no dysfunction or riffraff like you see in San Francisco. I will vote against development because I simply don't want development. I was exactly the opposite before I bought this house, now that I put over 100% of my net worth into the house I am on the opposite side of the table.
My net worth is under $10 million but I would not accept a $30m check to live in a condo on the 35th floor directly over the land that I inhabit today.
