Esteban is a Stanford R&DE staff member work works at The Axe and Palm in Old Union. He currently is paying to own his own home which is about 20 minutes away from Stanford.
"I think it would be better if the government tried to lower the rent a little bit. Because all the big companies Google, Facebook are going around here so that’s why rent is going up so much... They’re making people move so they can buy their own land or whatever so the companies can keep growing."
"The changes I’d like to see is that they’d try to lower the rent, that’s it because it’s what’s killing almost everybody. Because my brother he rent a house with my dad, my mom, and my younger sister and it’s almost 2800 dollars a month in 2018. It’s a lot. So they have to work almost two jobs. My dad works a job. My brother works a job. My mom works, my sister go to school...so everybody has to work so they can make and pay rent."
