    In general old Palo Alto is a nice area but I have the bad luck of having a racist neighbor screaming profanities from his house. Unfortunately, the police can’t control the situation so I have to ignore him. I hope it doesn’t become worse in the future.

    Wonderful place to live. Semi-rural atmosphere, great schools, nice people. When the creek is running, it’s especially lovely,
