Mark Zuckerberg gives noise-canceling headphones to neighbors amid construction chaos from his expanding Palo Alto estate.
Mark Zuckerberg has given noise-canceling headphones to neighbors in Palo Alto’s Crescent Park neighborhood amid ongoing construction disruptions from his expanding estate.
Over 14 years, he acquired at least 11 homes, spending over $110 million on features including underground structures, a pool with a hydrofloor, and a former private school, sparking complaints about noise, blocked streets, and increased security.
To ease tensions, his team also delivered gifts like wine and doughnuts during noisy periods.
While a spokesperson said Zuckerberg and his family prioritize community and exceed local requirements, some residents remain critical of absentee ownership and the transformation of their neighborhood.
The project has drawn scrutiny for bypassing regulations through incremental acquisitions after a 2016 city proposal was rejected.
