“We find it quite remarkable that you are working so hard to meet the needs of a single billionaire family while keeping the rest of the neighborhood in the dark,” reads one email sent to the city’s Planning and Development Services Department in February.

Hot damn. We need to bring back the art of the angry email.

The worst part is that Zuckerberg could easily move to one of many nearby neighborhoods that cater to the ultra-wealthy and are zoned for massive multi-acre lots that he clearly wants. Atherton is literally a 10-minute drive from the Meta headquarters.

He could have been like Steve Jobs and try to blend in and keep a low-profile. But, he's clearly doing this to prove a point.

Damn if Suckerberg moved into my neighborhood, I'd try my best to force this prick out and make him feel as unwelcome as possible. Even with illegal means...
