Palo Alto quality of life -am I missing something?
Alright, Crime rate is something to consider -Palo Alto sits at 128.5 per 100K. Median household income is $220,408, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a smaller city city with about 67,231 people. Average temperature is around 59--F, so the weather is moderate. Poverty rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Low taxes
- Easy commute
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports

Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
