Palo Alto, Calif., is nestled in the Silicon Valley, home to hundreds of millionaires and a few dozen billionaires, 50 miles directly south of San Francisco.
The broad leafy boulevards are shaded by mature oak trees, driven upon by socially conscious environmentalists who order from a popular Asian fusion menu at the Three Seasons, or gobble Izzy’s Brooklyn bagels while connected to their laptops like prisoners on a chain gang.
