Four houses surrounding Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's home in Palo Alto will be demolished and replaced by smaller ones, according to an application filed with city planners Tuesday.
Zuckerberg bought the homes on Hamilton Avenue and Edgewood Drive in 2013 after he learned of a developer's plan to build a house next door tall enough to have a view of Zuckerberg's master bedroom.
Concerned about privacy, Zuckerberg paid more than $30 million total for the properties at 1462 Edgewood Drive and 1451, 1457 and 1459 Hamilton in the Crescent Park neighborhood.

Yea,ask the Winklevos twins and Eduardo Severin what they think of your self made man!
More likely a wall, and a very high one at that.
Zuck: “Privacy for me but not for thee”
Thanks for the info.
That’s if you believe them. I don’t.
There are ads every 5 seconds. If ads on radio and tv make money, why wouldn’t the ones on Facebook? They sometimes look like content too.
The City should say NO and turn the 4 houses in to Muslim Refugee Centers, using Eminent Domain of course.
HA! I saw this comment in the comment section and LMAO. I thought this had to be a FREEPER. Sure enough!! :D. Hilarious!
They aren't just pop-ups and with all the data FB collects about its users the ads can be very targeted.
Zuckerberg and Schmidt are busy data mining the planet but are in fact themselves total freaks when it comes to their personal affairs.
They may not realize it, but they’re both nothing more than tools.
Yes, Zuck concerned about privacy. The irony is rich with this one.
Will Glenn be sitting naked in a bean bag chair eating Cheetos while watching TV?
You're missing the point see post #16 for why people are upset with him. Not to mention the irony on privacy pointed out in numerous other posts.
Do that many people believe they can only get their little blue pills thru a FaceBook ad? Cheers!
Umm...the guy in charge of Facebook is concerned about privacy? A little ironic.
“I cannot figure how “mold-spore” Zuckerberg earns revenues from F.B.
I,ve never shed a nickel there, has anybody else??”
Facebook sells information, which is used to target advertising to you. They also have ads on the sidebar, but that aspect of the business has been hurt by the ascendancy of mobile devices.
I imagine if you post “I want to buy some shoes” on Facebook, you will soon get ads for shoes, as you browse the internet. Zuckerberg gets a penny or two to make that happen...but he deals in volume.
Its interesting that a close friend of mine picked up a stalker this weekend by using a fake Facebook account.
He’s not denying anybody housing, he’s just making sure the houses built there can’t see in his windows. And vice versa. Really in the end he’s improving the design for everybody.
It's more or less the same model that sent Google into the stratosphere. Do a search for razor blades and see how quickly the ads for Gillette, Ralph's and Dollar Shave Club come up. Click on one of those ads and Google gets paid.
I believe the reason they came up with free email (Gmail) is so that they can mine additional data about you to generate even more targeted ads.
So, what I get from this is that Zuckerberg thinks we shouldn’t build a wall on the Mexican border, we should just annex Mexico and demolish it. Maybe then build a nice fence on Mexico’s border with Guatemala.
