That is true, and nobody claimed otherwise.

We have a way for you to express that desire. You can buy the surrounding properties and keep them exactly the same.

See Zuckerberg's purchases in Palo Alto for example.

Or you can vote municipalities that best aligns with what you desire.

That'd be a great example if it weren't for the fact that Zuck didn't keep things the same at all: he wants to raze the surrounding houses.
