Some Kauai residents unhappy about wall being built by Facebook billionaire

KILAUEA, KAUAI — For years, Kilauea, Kauai resident Gy Hall has enjoyed the view of the ocean and the breeze along Koolau Road. Then, a few weeks ago, a crew started to build a wall which happens to belong to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

“The feeling of it is really oppressive. It’s immense,” Hall said. “It’s really sad that somebody would come in, and buy a huge piece of land and the first thing they do is cut off this view that’s been available and appreciative by the community here for years.”

Hall said the wall extends along Koolau Road, near mile marker 20, and is about six-feet tall. He said its projected length and completion are unclear.

Multiple attempts by TGI to contact Shawn Smith, former Falk Partners manager, who Hall says sold some of the $200 million, 700-plus-acre property to the billionaire, were unsuccessful Friday.

Anyone that needs a big wall in Kauaʻi is sick. Of course, Jurassic Park WAS filmed there.

The Lear Jet leftists intend to rule the world from these lavish walled enclaves.

They will feast in air conditioned luxury behind those walls. The rest of us will be told to eat insects, and swelter

Some are complaining about loss of sea breeze, not just ocean view. A fence with shrubbery would be a more neighborly thing in that location.

Did they do an environmental study on the effects of flora/fauna because of the wall?

No fence/wall codes in that location? Seems odd, given the resources at issue. This definitely cuts the value of the neighbors’ property.

the same jerko is doing the same anti-social krap to his neighbors in his home town (Palo Alto)

he appears to be a sociopath, should be taken in for evaluation and treatment (if any is available)

Even the zillionaire Bill Gates wasn’t that obnoxious with his digs (he actually made a pretty cool underground house).

People expect big walls with high rises, not with residential properties.

If Zuckerberg’s property borders deserve a wall, why doesn’t the American border deserve one?
