Meanwhile, on the peninsula, the city of Palo Alto is nearing completion of a 6-story, 636 space, $50M parking garage near Caltrain and fighting any attempt to build new housing! 🙃

The Berkeley City Council just unanimously voted to end parking minimums city-wide.

Don’t worry. If the city can’t make the payments then the main library is designated as collateral.

I'm mostly trying to figure out how I can financially engineer my way into owning Palo Alto's library.

I don't think you'd like the location. Not much in short walking distance; nearby zoning is all R-1 and PF (public facilities). Though I guess it is a 15-20 minute walk from good 小笼包.

The area definitely has potential... you really just need to allow endless development (of all types) on every block between University and California, everything's a pretty short block away
