Don Roberto Munoz, 40, affectionately nicknamed “the cowboy” because of his trademark hat, works servicing the septic tanks of nearby multimillion-dollar mansions. He lives with his wife and two daughters in a classic silver Airstream trailer, surrounded by potted plants, and has been unable to answer his daughter Jenny’s questions about whether she will be able to finish high school. Anxious, she has been unable to sleep at night. If he told her the truth, he says, he would have to say: “It’s impossible. To pay the rents around here in Palo Alto is crazy. My wife works part-time, I work full-time, but still we won’t have the money.”

Last week, Jenny, 14, told the world’s most powerful grandmother about her sleepless nights. Hillary Clinton had flown into town for a campaign fundraiser, and Jenny was invited, to help raise the plight of Buena Vista’s residents with the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination. “I told her that living at Buena Vista had been a huge part of my life and I was worried that I won’t be able to stay here,” Jenny says. She reports that Clinton seemed concerned, and said she would try to take up Jenny’s invitation to visit her family’s trailer. “She said it wasn’t right that I would have to leave my education and try to fit in a different community far away.”

We stayed here so we would have enough money for my son to be the first person in the family to go to university

Munoz says he chose to come to Buena Vista not just because it was affordable, but because of the friendliness of the multiracial community in the heart of such a white and wealthy town
