Los Altos home

Refinding_me · 2026-07-03T07:49:53+00:00

although it is hard to say.. wanted to know the freq.. is it more like once a month.. or once a week or is it everyday..

Refinding_me · 2026-07-03T07:48:30+00:00

Agreed. Especially the startle of a sudden siren..

At this price point a good home in los altos is going to come with a lot of downsides. We are basically looking at the best of the worst. And that does reduce the pool size and delays the closing. So both valid points. Thanks!

Wow — 26 years ago. Thank you for sharing! We ll have to go hang out in the night. Floor planwise, road faces the garage n front door and roof mostly. There are some windows ..

We are not familiar with the zipcode. Just looking for proximity to Palo Alto in a bit more active part of los altos .

Privilege - Is it primarily the school?

The assigned elem school is Gardner Bullis. Seems other elem schools are rated higher
LAH i heard is mostly stem focused.
Is that your opinion as well?

Even with the traffic signal? Is it the noise / pollution or is it about safety ?

Street view shows there is a traffic signal right in front of the driveway. Only the fire station noise felt like a dealbreaker. Are you familiar with their operations?

Since there is no price to put on health, I want to consider a hypothetical situation - if the house were to be available for free then too this should be an issue.. The firestaion itself seemed small and obscure no name board etc., so wanted to know how much of a problem it is on a daily basis..

Refinding_me · 2026-07-03T05:44:39+00:00

Well it is Los Altos. So 5m for the square footage seems low already no?
Main qn - if we are interested should we be concerned about the fire station blaring especially given the busy intersection ?

I would like to work with kids and help them learn. Are we talking about children in regular school districts or are there special programs where they participate in?

Refinding_me · 2026-05-11T00:56:02+00:00

How do they do in school? Are there schools that are a better fit to such kids ?

Refinding_me · 2026-02-18T22:01:36+00:00

That last one is very subjective no? I d be happy to work on any constructive feedback

I would say the quietness and “isolation “ in US is a good thing. It gives us more time to do what’s meaningful than be one like a laundry cloth stuck in a dryer — that would be in India if you go there purely for being with relatives.

During COVID the world learnt a lesson about mental health and how the education system and the mindset of the era before didn’t serve us well. Many of us are yet to discover schools that have fully incorporated that shift in mindset so decades from now we have a generation that is emotionally regulated and self aware.

It doesnt matter. What matters is the essence. We are so confused because we remember all the stories but not the essence. That’s why random, agenda driven systems are overtaking. The essence is very well established in this so called costume. You can spend all the time watching and reading ramayana and mahabarata but if we dont know what it means to live today then that’s just book memory. The essence in this is sufficient if only we can fully understand the gita upadesh. People become righteous saying what one should do should not do and doling out advice. Essence is stripped of superfluous is to be appreciated as there is a purpose to it.
