    Good to see that some things never change in this go-go digital world.

    It's normal to pay at least $550 per square for non-ghetto houses in Silicon Valley.

    In Palo Alto, the norm tends to be $800 per square plus.

    You might appreciate some of the houses here:

    [www.burbed.com]

    Today's entry is pretty good... $1.5M for a 5br/3.5ba. You pay $15k a year in property tax. And you get to live next door to a Museum of Rusted Trucks In a Driveway - who pays only $1k a year in property tax!

    Scroll down further for the house that recently went for $1294 per square foot. ($885k for 684 sqft.) I think it's closer to where Zuck lives.

    Ah, to go back to the peak of the housing bubble days when houses like these would go for twice the value. Oh well. Now Silicon Valley is all affordable. :( #jawedkarim

    Have you looked at real estate prices in Palo Alto? Most American suburbanites would be forced to live in a closet. Seven months out there and I thought I got a deal buying a house in DC. #jawedkarim

    @Lymed: Very true. Many of the houses in the neighborhood being discussed here are in the 600-1200 sq. ft. range and they were almost certainly fetching seven figures in 2006/2007. They've come down since then, but it's still insane. I see one that's 1100 sq. ft. for $1.1 million and one 684 at $885k. I'm fairly certain this is among Palo Alto's cheapest single-family-home neighborhoods.

    Also, it is called College Terrace, not College Park. It's correct in the tags, just not within the article copy.

    It's like Chun Li vs. Balrog...

    Chun Li would win because Balrog was a charge character with no legit air defense.

    Sometimes I long for the old days, when these kinds of altercations were often just diversions to cover pickpockets or train robbers and whenever they'd occur, everyone would avert their eyes, get off at the next stop and wait for another bus.

    Nowadays and maybe it's just the parent in me, but if I were to witness such a fight, I don't know that I could film while keeping an eye out for a gun.

    I'm reminded of recent conversation about how women should be running the financial world because they're much more conservative and socialated (big deal, I made up a word).

    Unclear what really started this- we only have one side- but having lived in SF for many years, some Chinese-born women, especially older ones, are as aggressive as linebackers, they will plow you out of the way on a crowded bus. This woman was younger, but native Chinese have no problem jostling strangers on transit, and that may not have sat well with the African-American girl , if she were bumped without apology when the other lady went for the free seat. Don't know the story of course, but Chinese-born people in Sf sometimes have different ideas about "personal space" on mass transit. Seen it a lot, and wonder if that's part of this incident.

    @Baroness: If you think the Chinese-born of SF have aggressive ideas about personal space, try the Hong Kong subway: more contact than most rugby scrums.

    @Cynical Media Bitch: Hate to sound like I'm going on with stereotypes here but: on a crowded SF Chinatown streetcorner once, a guy tripped over the protruding leg of a woman's old-fashioned metal shopping cart, and you could hear his knee crack as it hit the sidewalk.

    As I was helping the poor man up, the woman started screaming at him in Chinese- like, how dare you trip over my cart, idiot! was what I got as they argued in Chinese. It seems like they can be quite rough with each other in the public thrum sometimes.

    This is what people mean when they say "I will take you down....I will take you down to Chinatown!". -It means you will get your ass beat by a tough old Chinese lady.

    Ha, this is the best part (from the translation over @ youtube):

    Old Man#2(1:26): Hit that bitch.
    Old Man#3(1:33): Beat that bitch ass.
    Old Lady#2(1:37): Don't fight no more.
    Old Man#2((1:59): Beat the fuck out of her till she is scared.

    I kept hoping this was a John Woo Hong Kong-era movie, and that the quiet lady sitting in the orange jacket was going to jump up, pull dual handguns (and a dove) out of her backpack, and cap somebody.
