I found these whining hypocritical and snobbish. I can't afford a house in Palo Alto even if I work there. I don't complain about it just like I don't complain about not being able to purchase a luxury car. I don't expect the people who CAN afford these things to just lower the price and give them to me.
Many cities near Palo Alto have houses at a reasonable price, East Palo Alto, East Menlo Park, Mountain View, Redwood City, just to name a few. Why doesn't the author want to raise her kids there? BECAUSE SHE DOESN"T WANT HER KIDS TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH THE AVERAGE JOE! She wants her kids to go to a school where Joe Millionaires send their kids, while only paying the price of an average Joe. How could that be possible?
Her mentality is the same as that of the people she's accusing of not making a change. She just makes less money and she's loud.
