Palo Alto considers subsidized housing for salary up to $250K
In most of Palo Alto, it&#x27;s against the law to build anything but the most expensive kind of housing—single family homes with big yards. People who already bought in get to enjoy their walled-off neighborhoods at the expense of families with less money. It&#x27;s nice that they feel bad enough about it to do something, but instead of legalizing cheaper housing on less land, they&#x27;re trying to fund a lottery as a totem to make themselves feel better about the artificial affordability crisis they&#x27;ve created.
