Very true. Analogies are great, but some things are truly new, and have no analogies.

The economy is in a strange place. The parking lots of the office parks are empty. Central Expressway is quiet, as is the road connecting 280 to El Camino by the Stanford Shopping Center. Used to be bottlenecks and traffic jams. The commercial tax base isn't generating enough money to operate city government. While the economy seems permanently shrunk, the housing prices are higher than ever. A townhouse in <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=700+Sharon+Park+Drive,+Menlo+Park,+CA&ll=37.425082,-122.200027&spn=0.013564,0.034504&om=1">Sharon Heights</a> goes for $2 million. There are no houses for less than $1 million, even in modest neighborhoods.
