Planning commissioner in Palo Alto, California, quits her job because she can't afford to live in the city she works for. $6,200 per month in rent, in a home she and her husband share with another couple.

The other day I was thinking about stories, and last night I dug into some of my archived information to look up a few things. It's been about 16 years since I last looked into this part of the universe, and now that I've started thinking about it, the creative juices are starting to accumulate.
