There is a sort of philosophical retribution here. For decades, they prevented new housing construction in an extremely expensive and desirable city, watching their housing values go up. Eventually the values went so high that a billionaire came in, bought the houses, and are now performing 8 year basement construction projects to make them more conducive to billionaire living.

When you're so posh and elite that literally oligarch can only afford to buy real estate in the neighbourhood. Turned out not so nice after all. Let them maul each other.

As near as I can tell, all of those people make nightmare neighbors. Once any of them move in, your best option is to get out.

I lived in Palo Alto for years around 2018 before realizing o was a block away from Tim Cook. From the outside, his house looked pretty normal-looking and I also run into him at the whole foods down the block. He and his house looked pretty down to earth.
