Yup - and everything is 2 stories or less. Nothing gets built, not because of demand, but because zoning laws. There’s no reason other than the city of Palo Alto won’t allow tall buildings to be built - the less that is built the more wealth homeowners and real estate investors get.

that's not the motivation of many people who don't want tall buildings. Many of them don't want them because they don't like living near them.
