Anyone lives in Palo Alto? Could you please share how’s your lifestyle there? Is this really that good?

Reason for asking: My wife is obsessed with Palo Alto. She browses houses in Palo Alto on Zillow everyday, and she put a chart on the fridge how much she has saved to buy a house there (very far away from that goal BTW!) There’s no way she (or we) can ever afford a proper house in that area, but I’m curious is life there really that good?
