Every business in Palo Alto is vulnerable to losing employees based on the weaknesses outlined here. Lay out the detailed case for how to steal those employees away from Palo Alto companies based on the current long term plan and circulate them to the HR departments in companies that are most influential if you want to actually raise the profile of these issues.

How many companies are already losing personnel to the lack of housing? How much is that costing their bottom lines? If Palo Alto is actually targeting businesses for their future growth, leaving these companies vulnerable to raids on their personnel does them no favors. If the city fathers have no pity for the poor or even the middle class, the oligarchs ultimately will leave if Palo Alto continues on its course. Affordability will be restored, but not in a good way.
