> His new home would cut into a mountainside just beneath an open space that taxpayers had bought for $64 million to fend off future development.
I think I am siding with the NIMBYs on this. If you have a pristine mountain side with no homes, don't ruin it with one new house.

Unless it's one of those barely visible earth-sheltered homes, which he would be a great candidate to buy.
Buy the whole hill then.
Crazy how arrogant people can be, this disrespect he shows really echoes the classic "fuck you, got mine" mentality.
Not saying anyone is immune to that, but just calling it out when its there.

Possibly extra relevant because said CEO is a frequent poster here (@eastdakota) and their CTO (@jgrahamc)is one of the most prolific and popular members (karma rank 24th).

He only cared about posting here when it helped grow Cloudflare, now his account is only active in the occasional crisis management PR thread.

People still read newspapers?

Reminds me of a mattress company buying a review site, promising to keep it independent and promptly deleting any bad mentions about their product.
