Facebook boss buys neighbor's house to... demolish

To avoid being watched by neighbors, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg spent 30 million USD to buy 4 houses so he could... destroy them.

According to the Palo Alto city plan, California, USA, submitted on May 24 (local time), Mark Zuckerberg intends to raze the million-dollar apartments he bought in 2013.

These luxury apartments will be replaced by new, more modest homes. According to the plan, the new homes will only take up 80% of the area of ​​the previous apartments but will ensure absolute privacy for the “Facebook boss”. These new homes will have “white brick walls, dark steel doors and windows, and dark gray metal roofs”.

Previously, after Zuckerberg bought a house in Crescent Park in 2011, there was information that he bought back the houses of his neighbors.

“I wonder if he’s building a house to live in or creating a place that will be busy with employees and visitors,” a neighbor told the Mercury News. The resident was concerned that it could “cause traffic and safety issues in the area.”

There is no word yet on how long the construction will take, but Zuckerberg plans to demolish four houses at a time to minimize the impact on the remaining neighbors. This may be a lesson learned, as when the Facebook boss renovated his $10 million apartment in San Francisco, his neighbors suffered for nearly two years.
