Palo Alto is one of the most expensive places in the United States. The Economic Research Institute noted the cost of living in Palo Alto is 92% higher than the national average, with the city itself being ranked number six of the most expensive cities out of 449 in California.
That may be one reason why many large companies in the Bay Area allow their executives to telecommute from other cities or states. And still, employees might need to come into town to work on a project from time to time. Or an international visitor, possibly from Germany or the UK, decides to schedule a month-long holiday in Northern California. The San Francisco Bay Area is a very popular tourist destination for Europeans!
