One of the trending news today, is the expression of unhappiness by Facebook's CEO's neighbors about the rock wall he's building on his property on the north shore island of Kauai.
According to Press association yesterday, a retiree named Moku Crain told them of how the wall looks so intimidating and forbidden. Mr Crain hopes and expects Zuckerberg will soften the wall's intimidating look by planting foliage around it.
Still from the unhappy neighbor, "Whereas before when we drove along the road we could see the ocean and see through the property, it's closing off that view, so i think that's part of it.
Nobody likes change." Crain said further that the wall was about six feet and that another existing wall on the propert was only about four feet. Few would complain if the new wall was the same height he predicted.
But according to Lindsay Andrews, a spokeswoman for the billionare's Kauai property operations, the rock wall is designed to reduce highwaay and raod noise, she is also said that similar walls are rouutinely used for this purpose which follows all rules and regulations.
"Our entire team remains committed to ensuring that any development respects the local landscape and environment and is considerate of neighbors," she saidin a statement.
Other Zuckerberg neigbors told the Garden Island that the wall was oppressive, blocks breezes and views and "doesn't feel neighborly." It's immense, "Gy Hall, a resident, said in an interview with west Hawaii Today.
"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 appreciated by the community here for years." Others have also described it as a "monstrosity."
Residents have also put up signs on the rock wall urging Zuckerberg to take it down. But software Engineer Brian Catin said the fence looks nice. He said it's an improvement on tyhe barbed wire fence that was there.
He said the complaining was limited to "just a few crybabies" and "nobody else cares." "If they wanted to protect the view, they should have bought that land," Catin said.
"He paid a lot of money for that so he can do what he wants with it. Catin insisted that the rock wall as less than six feet tall because that's how tall he is and he can see it over. Thomas Beebe is another supporter of Zuckerberg's wall.
"I find that it greatly enhances the natural beauty of the land, appropriately makes use of local materials and serves as a tastef; reminder of an ancient method of defining boundaries, he said.
Forbes reported Zuckerberg paid over $100 million for the propert, which spans more than 700 acres on the coast, in 2014.
