> Atherton is a billionaire enclave in Palo Alto

100% factually incorrect. In addition to NOT being part of the City of Palo Alto, The Town of Atherton shares no land border with Palo Alto and is not even in the same COUNTY as Palo Alto. Maybe it's a good idea to learn about other cities, towns and people before you try to dictate land use policies from afar.

It's a minor technical point. Try saying 'just a correction but it's in the neighboring San Mateo'.

So what? There are parts of New York in several different states. What's relevant about the county boundary?

Eh, maybe it's incorrect and should be fixed? You have a problem with people pointing out misinformation?
I'm saying that my parent comment calls this misinformation without actually providing any support for that claim.
