Facebook is certainly not the only high tech company that has had a huge impact in East Palo Alto. Google, eBay, Stanford, Apple, Palantir, HP, and many more tech companies all have employees living here or commuting through here every day. I see many more tech employees from companies other than Facebook living in East Palo Alto. I applaud FB for doing far more than other companies with community outreach - Juan Salazar from FB seems to be at every community meeting in EPA. Google, for instance, is just as close to EPA as FB (and closer if you live on the West Side of EPA), but hardly engages the community at all, unless allowing its brightly colored bikes to be ridden off to EPA counts for something.
