BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHTDaily Post Staff WriterNeighbors are trying to stop two developments in Palo Alto that are using a new state law that allow taller apartment buildings near Caltrain stations.
“I moved here to live in Palo Alto, not Manhattan,” resident Dan Mahoney said in an email to council on Friday.
Residents like Mahoney are upset about two projects in particular: a six-story building at 2497 High St. and a four-story building at 340 Palo Alto Ave.
Building near the creekNeighbors of the Palo Alto Avenue project don’t like how six new condos would get built near the San Francisquito Creek.
They’ve listed the property for $6.3 million, marketing the “rare development potential” north of downtown Palo Alto.
