Let's just re-name east MP to Facebook town. Despite all the perceived good, at some point Mountain View finally had enough with Google.

It will also be interesting to see how the FB fallout will affect the company long-term.

Facebook is wearing out their welcome. Plans like this, which will add to traffic on already congested streets is just another example of them not caring abotu the community. I know many of my neighbors, myself included, are watching this closely and are ready to object if necessary.

It's too bad FB was so focused on expansion, and the revenue they were making that they did not want to deal with protecting peoples private data. Menlo Park is providing a place for them to live and work. Is this what Meno Park is all about (the money FB can provide to MP)? Facebook is toooooooo big for Menlo Park. Facebook will change the dynamics and landscape of Menlo Park. Residents of Menlo Park should be worried.
