Palo Alto, the well-known Stanford town several months ago. Two friends were my classmates. Their $1.1 -$1.3million (purchase prices several years ago) small flat houses look 10-time worse than my residence in the midwest; however, their current housing market prices are 10-time higher than mine.
The other two friends I visited were senior ladies, my mom's classmates way back who married to the air force 飞官 and immigrated to the States in the 60s and bought several houses in Palo Alto area at the price tags of well below $100k. Now, every house can fetch them over $2 million plus!!
这都是命中注定的。
