The city of Palo Alto, California, rejected an offer from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to buy the municipality. Zuckerberg said he wants to buy the entire town in order to enhance his privacy. He said he doesn’t want people being able to see his property, and worse, possibly see into his home. He said that because he hates curtains and drapes, the purchase, and then the relocation of everyone who lives there, is the only acceptable solution. In addition to residents and their homes, the social media magnate wants businesses to be ousted and their structures bulldozed as well, except for:

-6 restaurants

-2 pizzerias

-3 taquerias

-a dry cleaners

-a spa

-a nail salon

-a hairdressers

-a barber shop

-a dermatologist

-a boutique hotel

-a Whole Foods

-a bicycle shop

-a cobblers

-and a couple private clubs.

In 2013 it was reported that Zucerkberg bought 4 homes near his, and in late May of this year people learned that Zuckerberg intends to raze those homes. A Zuckerberg spokesman said, “It’s unconscionable that my amazing, thoughtful boss lives like this.” Palo Alto mayor Karen Holman said the city might consider the sale if they can “get something in the 16-digit range, and save the high schools’ equine massage programs.” In other tech news, Yahoo is denying rumors that it will hold a rummage sale next Saturday.
