Why I chose Palo Alto over bigger cities

Hey everyone, Crime rate is something to consider -Palo Alto sits at 128.5 per 100K. Poverty rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What would you do? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

We moved here with our family and I love the pace of life here. Schools in Uptown area are excellent. Kids love it here.
