r/paloalto

Moving (or eat least trying to move) back to Palo Alto after 2 years and I’m surprised by how few rentals there are on Zillow. Is this just a summer thing or has it been like this for a while?
Also, why are so many places not pet-friendly now? I have a dog and don’t remember it being this difficult before

I've been living in Palo Alto for a year now, 23F and looking for third spaces where I can make friends- please let me know of any suggestions!

I'm into running, lifting, biking (new), crocheting/embroidering, reading, hiking and always open to trying new things :)

I’ve been looking for something like Pentatonix-style group singing (modern pop songs, layered harmonies, vocal arrangements), but most local options seem to be either traditional choir or performance-heavy a cappella.

I’m hoping to find a few people (maybe 4–8?) who enjoy singing and would be interested in casually meeting to harmonize on pop / indie / R&B songs.

What I’m imagining:
Small group (not a huge choir)
Strong focus on harmonies / blend
Pop songs and modern arrangements
No choreography required 😅
Low-pressure, but people who care about sounding good
Maybe occasional performances if there’s interest
Skill level: ideally people who can generally hold pitch / harmony, but you definitely don’t need to be a professional singer.

Personally, I love artists like Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, SZA, Bruno Mars, etc., but open to all kinds of songs.

I’m in my mid-20s and would especially love meeting other young professionals / grad students. Also, in the Palo Alto / Stanford area, but open to anywhere in the Peninsula / South Bay. I’m also hoping this becomes a fun recurring social thing, not just rehearsals.

Comment or DM if this sounds fun!

Looking for roof replacement options for Eichler house, current roof is tar and gravel. Looking at TPO as an option cost apart, any downside of using this for Eichler house? I heard it could cause condensation issues? Also any roofing contractors which you are able to share?

Hi everyone,

I’d love to go to Watercourse Way in Palo Alto, and enjoy some relaxing time. Going there by myself feels so lonely, so I’d love to go with someone who is open minded. We can have an open conversation and escape from the stressful world we live in. Planning to go today at around noon. If you are interested please dm me and we can meet there! Thank you 😊 I’m 35M

My partner just texted me that she heard a couple jets do a flyover in Los Altos. Anyone know what that’s about? Is the VP back for another fundraiser or something?
