Talking about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

If you think about it, companies coming to Palo Alto increase housing value, which increases property taxes, which leads to Palo Alto being a nice place.

They come to Palo Alto because of the startup culture, which is diminishing. As the Merc article says, not everything is about maximizing profit.
