Zuckerberg has spent more than $110 million purchasing at least 11 homes on Edgewood Drive and Hamilton Avenue over the past 14 years,

Disgusting.

Underneath the compound, Zuckerberg added 7,000 square feet of space described as “basements,” which to area residents are more akin to “bunkers” or a “billionaire’s bat cave.” Zuckerberg similarly added a 5,000-square-foot underground structure to his compound in Hawaii, which he insists is not a “doomsday bunker.”

Extraordinarily Wasteful. Selfish. Parasitic.

In 2016, Palo Alto officials rejected a proposal to demolish four homes and replace them with smaller houses and large basements as part of a wider compound. While the city denied the specific application, Zuckerberg ultimately proceeded gradually, undertaking similar work in a piecemeal fashion to avoid further regulatory hurdles. The Palo Alto City Council and some residents have since criticized what they describe as the exploitation of zoning loopholes and the city’s regulatory inaction.

Move fast, break things. Do whatever the fuck you want. No one can stop your money.

Some of these properties that were recently purchased sit unoccupied, despite being in a region known for its acute housing shortage

Outright evil.

☝️

This is important to understand. They don't care about the fall of society or the planet, as long as the financial system stays intact and their lines go up. They have long prepared themselves for the end they themselves are pushing.

They’re idiots. They’ll be kings of a shithole if things implode and they actually need a bunker. Yay, you lived! Now enjoy a horrible land.

I agree. Hubris pure and simple. Seems a common delusion these days.
