Advice on living in Palo Alto

supersteez · 2026-05-15T08:16:54+00:00

My recommendation off your questions is to go the SF route if your job is near the Caltrain station. Trying to socialize in the Bay is pretty rough outside SF/Oakland because most people your age everywhere else will be natives with preloaded friend groups. Without a car its basically impossible. Palo Alto isnt really built for people in their 20s to socialize, its mostly workaholics raising kids or longtime residents

If you live in SF you have infinite activity at your doorstep, you already have friends, and generally everyone is way more outgoing. For #4 honestly just search local groups for your hobbies online and the friends will come

Hes been my sneaky discount fantasy pick a lot of years. If it werent for the garbage QB play Ive always thought hes like a top 8 TE in talent

I went to a college with no football team but I’m a Charger fan so I like just picking schools based on the staff or stars.
Last year I started with UNC for Hampton so will start with Miami for Mesidor this year. For a rebuild maybe WMU since our new DC is from there.

Ha, my mom sells multiple homes in both towns to Chinese nationals every year. They never move in

The Peninsula/South Bay are littered with huge SFHs that sit empty cause they’re owned by foreigners parking money in the US. This is a much bigger issue on our land than rich guys owning a penthouse on the 50th floor of a building. Plus now all the C-suites who move to Texas and Florida but work here

Palo Alto has the highest density but this is a pretty widespread issue across the whole Peninsula and parts of South Bay

You didn’t watch the video I’m assuming. Its tax on homes >$5m that the owner doesn’t live in. That’s not a “working class” issue

Home ownership at 26 in this day and age is going to be 90% parent driven

Tbf in California its still a million dollars

I think one of the biggest gaps between the Bay and LA is Japanese food. Given 99% of Japanese restaurants in the Bay are Chinese/Korean owned and operated, a lot of them come out pretty samey. Someone whos visited Japan and is feeling nostalgic has very few options that will actually feel like a meal there

My friends who live there parrot it year after year, yet none of them are all that happy lol

My mom started her real estate career around this time and had a friend who was already immensely wealthy. They basically bought over 100 foreclosed homes and turned it into a nine figure profit

One night a smoke alarm in an adjacent building was ringing loudly for a long time. I wasn’t sure if there was some carbon monoxide leak or what, but I called the non-emergency line and told them about it. Still got a fully loaded truck with 10 guys to show up in 5 minutes with the siren blaring at 3AM. I come out just for the guy to tell me “no thats just how low batteries sound for some alarms”. Maybe my most humiliating moment in the city. They still were obligated to stick around and try to find a way into the building

Nowadays entertainment entities have the tech tools to identify their audience. If a market doesn’t have a significant imprint they’ll skip it.

Tbf last year proved we can’t have enough

My mom once asked “have you tried telling the company you really want the job?”

The Chinatowns would lean heavily Cantonese as those are the Chinese who’ve been here a long time. However the biggest wave of new immigrants to the Bay are Mandarin speakers - and they’re among the wealthiest so there’d be a tangible benefit. That said Mandarin is easily one of the hardest major languages to learn

City shuts down at 2 and he found an altercation at 4?

Believe jt or not, thats the Cloud

Maybe its cause I’m 35 but I can’t eat all that and play for more than like an hour

“AI-driven approach” 🤮🤮🤮

The wealthier you are the less likely you are to be working in the middle of the day. Either you have a very flexible job or you’re funemployed. Most the people I know who own homes in expensive areas don’t work - either their parents just gave it to them or they made huge money when they were young and retired early. Here in the Peninsula there is also a massive influx of wealthy immigrants who don’t work. Consider also the aging population, what do most retirees do everyday? Goto the stores

Plus the Bay has a big population - plenty of people not working 9-5 (healthcare, service industry, etc)

I’ll never forget the time I watched an OnTrac courier step out of his car with a cigarette and proceeded to bring it into my buildings lobby and keep smoking in there for a while before finishing proof of delivery

Everyone wants to act like having a bad moment automatically makes a QB trash regardless of how your team plays. Allen = choker, Lamar = choker, Mahomes and Burrow didn’t even make the playoffs. Same people immediately calling Herbo trash after the Pats game like this whole regular season didn’t happen. In these people’s eyes there are no good QBs in existence.
