The grass is always greener…
While being Mark Zuckerberg’s neighbour sounds pretty cool, it turns out it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
The man who gave us Facebook has managed to make a few enemies in his neck of the woods, and his neighbours have now piped up about the hassles of living next door to him.
In a letter spotted by Buzzfeed, members of the community wrote: “It can be cumbersome living next to Zuck.”
The residents of Liberty Hill are put out because the billionaire’s security detail is parking illegally, as well as the noise and trash resulting from his very long-running construction work.
The letter, which has been circulated in the neighbourhood in an effort to rally enough complaints to go the local authorities with the matter.
The note reads:
“I’m sure you all agree that it can be cumbersome living next to Zuck. I think we’ve all tried to be as patient and civil as possible during the very long construction, the noise, the trash, the blocking of streets.
“Now that all that circus is done, we are left with 2 silver SUVs permanently occupying desirable parking spots.
“It goes without saying that living close to Dolores Park and the awesome neighboring districts already creates a challenge when it comes to street parking, so the 2 spots that are illegally being held for Zuck only makes matters worse.
“And, although I do feel bad for the guards when it gets cold or hot, they tend to leave their car engines on day and night which is wasteful and horrible for the environment not to mention noisy in an otherwise quiet neighborhood.”
However, Zuck’s peeps aren’t having any of it, and responded with a simple:
‘The security team’s cars are parked in accordance with local parking laws. The team strives to be sensitive to neighbors’ concerns and regrets any inconvenience.”
