I live in SF and this is happening everywhere. The house directly next to me has been under construction for more than 18 months, with parking blocked off, huge amounts of noise, etc. And I live on a fairly undistinguished block (though one that is about to have a $5m home hit the market...). This is just par for the course in SF. His home attracted a particular amount of attention because it's his. $10 in SF for a billionaire is really pretty modest.
