Mark Zuckerberg's adorable baby girl and impressive pledge to commit his vast $45 billion Facebook fortune to philanthropy have won the affection and admiration of much of the world.
Except the people who live right next door to him.
At least some of the Facebook CEO's neighbors, often critical of the commotion surrounding the famous founder's house, are now reportedly urging residents to formally complain to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency about Zuckerberg's security detail "illegally" taking up two perfectly good parking spots with their SUVs.
"I’m sure you all agree that it can be cumbersome living next to Zuck," the neighbors wrote in a scathing letter distributed to residents and obtained by BuzzFeed. "I think we’ve all tried to be as patient and civil as possible during the very long construction, the noise, the trash, the blocking of streets, etc."
The billionaire and his wife Dr. Priscilla Chan previously frustrated residents in 2014 with never-ending construction to add a rooftop deck, basement garage and, reportedly, a wine room (the horror, the horror) to their San Francisco area home.
In fact, the wealthy young couple had even gone so far as to buy up four homes surrounding their own in order to ensure their privacy. (And for good reason: the Zuckerberg family had reportedly discovered a developer was going to buy up the nearby property and market it based on its proximity to the Facebook CEO.)
But that was then -- before the world got to meet the impossibly charismatic Jedi Zuckerbaby, the hypnotic mane of their levitating mop/dog Beast and the newly endearing Zuckerberg. Surely that would be enough to melt the hearts and petty grievances of his neighbors.
"Now that all that circus is done, we are left with 2 silver SUV’s permanently occupying desirable parking spots," the neighbors wrote in the letter.
So much for goodwill. Like the song says, money can't buy you love.
Zuckerberg's reps, for their part, dispute the complaints.
