Letter of Resignation from the Palo Alto Planning and Transportation Commission (shift.newco.co)

i know this is one of hacker news' perennial hobby horse subjects, but the struggle is real. i lived in the bay area for a year or two. the reason i am not there now is because i could have never afforded the house i bought here in nashville.

There are early signs that the real estate boom of the past few years might be beginning to ebb. For example, home prices in Aspen have begun to fall, apparently unexpectedly:

While Aspen is obviously different than Palo Alto, there is some crossover in terms of who buys houses in each of those locations.

Serious question...isn't that YCs neighborhood? Like right next door? Does Mountain View have the same sort of problems?

Are they doing anything to help, given their connections?
