Related: About this forumNeighbors feeling squeezed by work on Mark Zuckerberg’s S.F. home
Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross, Chronicle ColumnistsUpdated 8:33 am, Tuesday, September 23, 201
Welcome to Fort Zuckerberg the $10 million Dolores Heights fixer-upper that Mark Zuckerberg and his wife have turned into a massive construction encampment that has some neighbors feeling under siege by the Facebook founder.
Their problem goes beyond the rash of no parking signs on 21st Street near Dolores Street that have kept them from parking outside their own homes these past 17 months.
Dozens of construction workers, using backhoes and jackhammers, are busy installing everything from a new kitchen to bathrooms and decks and tearing up the sidewalks for new fiber-optic cables that will connect to the home.
And its all being overseen by round-the-clock security.

OP
I gather he isn't gathering any likes from his neighbors and he's being unfriended.

I would choose to live if money was no object. 21st and Dolores is not one of them. Of course, If you want to take the challenge of skateboarding down the 22nd street cliff, well, maybe.

that the folks that have not been able to park in front of their home for 17 months would be chatting with their city council representative and every city official that would have any jurisdiction. I certainly know that I would be doing so. There is simply no excuse for this type of unneighborly behavior by Mr. Zuckerberg.

they certainly have a lot of patience to deal with it.
