The headphones are the least insane thing about this construction project. Homie is buying up a residential neighborhood to turn it into a compound with its own private school inside of it.

But who hasn’t done that.

    And the people he's buying headphones for, he probably wants to move out so he can buy their properties. I suspect their might be a tad of malicious gift giving here.

    Ah yes, the minds of Curtis Yarvin and Peter Theil. The traitors who want monarchy and transhumanism.They are too psychopathic to realize that if they undergo transhumanism and become one with AI, it will probably remove all the emotional aspect of the creature. When that happens, there is no community, no collaboration, and no desire to reproduce. With this desire to evolve, they will turn themselves into a creature that is incapable of forming the very desire that led them to destroy humanity in the first place. They'll just be a bunch of brain dead, bad logic. Why do such awful and careless people run the world?

    He could gift the planet by leaving Earth, possibly on one of his peer's rockets.

    Like Mitt Romney so correctly stated: "They feel they are entitled to it!"
    Except he stated it about people wanting health care! But the true astounding entitlement is with the rich, and with the really rich, it's mind boggling! They truly believe they DESERVE to be that rich, that they are ENTITLED to every extreme privilege they have!! But an ordinary person working two jobs barely deserve a home, food and health care?!
    Remember the people are allowing this, we could change it easily if a majority really wanted to change it.

    Complete lack of empathy displayed when trying to perform "empathy".

    This is clearly just a big "fuck you" to his neighbors since they are probably filthy rich too if they are living next to him and would not have a problem buying noise cancelling headphones.

    I don't think it is. I've rubbed shoulders with the 1% on a few occasions and they tend to give shit like this the way we give out candy. I've heard of little gift baggies worth over 1k distributed in large numbers, and me being impressed by that was surprising to the person talking about it. He acted like it was $30-$60 when he was talking. It's spending on a completely different scale. Headphones are not a statement. They're an afterthought.

    Techno-Utopia means dehumanizing the mass of humanity.

    Palo Alto has finally started to crack down on this nonsense. It's been a wealthy area for decades, but the behavior of these ultra rich freaks is hard for anyone to tolerate.

    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.

    That's it. From now on I dedicate my life to siphoning as much money from these unethical soulless bastards as possible to divert it to society-beneficial non-profits. More Linux, more skateparks, better education, more affordable housing, universal healthcare, et cetera. Never have I ever loathed one person so much as Mark Zuckerberg.

    These abhorrent rich are digging their bunkers as deep as they can right now folks. They are actively trying to destroy the worlds population and leave just the 2500 or so BILLIONAIRES that now live on the planet. And they know they are going to have to hide, VERY DEEP.

    Pst, your blueprints, air systems, AND you private detail are compromised already. When you fucks enact your end game, you'll be reminded there is no hole deep enough to hide in.

    You just couldn't be happy being rich. WE have become too much of an inconvenience to you.

    Tick tock.....

    A real man does not need a compound or a palace. And a castle will never make up for that face.

    The best idea is to get some Japanese knotweed. Have every neighbor plant it and then put their properties up for sale. People have committed suicide over that being so destructive to property. Once discovered, no insurance company will touch him. By the the time he figures it out, that hell of a nightmare plant will have begun to grow up his soul. Honestly, people could do that with all investor properties, or those of other bad citizens. War is upon us.

    Also, arsenic, lead, radioactive material, poison ivy, poison sumac, ragweed, poison oak, hornet, bees, bajillions of mice. There are an infinite amount of things that can be done to fight the bigger pest.

    They could also use ultrasonic pulses through compression drivers pointed at his house constantly and see if he goes nuts. I'd have more fun from the headphone threat than if he just left me alone personally. Hell, I'd trade houses with one of these folks just for that entertainment.

    It’s not crazy. I too would buy up my neighbors properties for what equates to a few hundred dollars.

    We don't need to build guillotines this time. They're digging their own graves. Bury them and starve them in their tombs.

    Did you mean 2200? I had a 1200sqft apartment before and that definitely couldn't fit a family

    We don't need to fight over little figures like this. Let's just multiply op's figures by 5. And then we can tax a lot after that, multiply that by 10 and tax more than what it's worth after that.

    Problem isn't someone living in 2 bedroom per person, it's when they have multiple mansions. Or multiple "investment properties", and some of them are just empty because it's still profitable

    Read it as "grifted", I think my subconscious is trying to say something... Anyway, trying to solve with money a problem you do not understand nor care about seems on brand.
