[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a reason houses in Stanford/Palo Alto cost upward of $3M - it’s a fantastic place to live.  Also there are allotment gardens and arguably the best dining halls in the nation.  Fantastic exercise facilities (even for non athletes) and access to the outdoors.  [/quote]

Yes.  Awful land use policy screwing over most who cannot afford to live close in.  I had to live in a dump in East Palo Alto in grad school.  The area might be nice, but not $3 mil house nice.[/quote]

Curious why you didn’t live in grad housing? My DW lived in a brand new studio for $1600 (paid for by his department as a grad student).

I predate you by many years.  There was very limited grad housing back in those days.[/quote]

Seems odd then that houses were that expensive back then too. [/quote]

Gawd you are obnoxious and stupid.  Houses in PA were relatively expensive back then but not $3 mil.  The price difference then still reflected poor development policies limiting the supply of housing and not the higher quality of life associated with PA.

We live in a HCOL area in the DMV,. Do you think higher housing prices indicate a higher level of amenities here than in lower cost areas?[/quote]

I just think that you said houses were $3mm but they weren’t when you were in grad school. Stanford built and has built a ton of grad housing as prices in the area have gone up.

I lived in Mountain View in the late 90s and plenty of people found off campus housing. It wasn’t as expensive then.  Perhaps I predate you.

And calling me obnoxious and stupid for pointing this out certainly suggests you are a kind person. [/quote]
