>Zuckerberg could have built a fancy house in Woodside or Atherton which is where billionaire CEOs live. Instead he bought property in the middle of regular people and disrupted their lives.

it is easier and safer to have illegal school and other unpermitted things and all the noise and street blocking and all the other disruptions where regular people live than to piss off a billionaire neighbor.

This is Palo Alto and his neighbors for the most part aren't "regular people". They all own $5M+ homes.

A $5M home in Palo Alto is hardly a mansion.

I have close relatives in that same neighborhood. They are regular people. Yes their house is now worth millions but it wasn’t when they bought it and they are not wealthy (unless they sell and move).

ROFL. The neighbors are not "regular people" for any reasonable definition of that term.
