Oh, I meant the knives were out for Zuckerberg because he tried to buy his entire street in Palo Alto and turn it into a private compound.  That predated the current animosity centered on FaceBook.  

 

Not everyone on that street wanted to sell their Palo Alto property, even for thrice its fair market value, and they didn’t want to find themselves living in the middle of a secured private FaceBook compound.

 

I didn’t understand that of course, for either of those two things would be just fine with me.  I would go either route, cheerfully, eagerly.  Mark Zuckerberg could buy every house on my street, or buy all of them around me and provide me free 24/7 security, sure, welcome to the neighborhood Mark.  I have no heartburn at all being the poor neighbor they look down on and toss hundred dollar bills into my hat out of pity for my grinding poverty, sure.  

 

I don’t understand rich people.  Do you?
