Cloudflare CEO sues over free-roaming fidos at his ski resort paradise When regular people have disputes with neighbors, the more reasonable party will grit their teeth, bite their tongue, and try to avoid conflict as much as possible. When billionaires have disputes with millionaire neighbors, they'll see you in court. Such is the case with Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, who has had it with his …
He's building his secret villain/zombie-survival lair underground, he shouldn't hear the dogs anyways. Bad as Zuck buying up his Hawaii survival layer and displacing all the natives like a good colonization strategy.
Not sure whether to upvote or downvote. It's certainly true, but with limits - if the dog is somewhere it's allowed to be, tough luck. If it's on someone else's property and is behaving aggressively, particularly if toward, say, small children, that's a very different story. Plenty of trespassing dogs have been shot by property owners.
At my old house, one set of neighbors (the rest were excellent folks) had several large, very aggressive dogs with a habit of escaping, including into our yard. (One even broke a section of fence to do it - I heard several cracks from the wood before he broke it.) On multiple occasions I stood between my very young kids and one of their dogs, holding a 6' pole and ready to start swinging. Never had to, but if it went beyond the "in our yard, 5 feet away, and barking at us like mad" stage toward actually charging, I definitely would have.
When the 'naires are behaving like petulant princesses and starting pulling each others hair in public who actually gives a rat's?
The theatre of the ridiculous.
A least the dream house isn't the 11 thousand square metres that I first read (its sq ft - bloody customary units*) - I thought building a data centre on the sly. ;) Still 1000 sq m is pretty palatial even for a prince.
*it must be possible to use a stylesheet and some javascript to convert logical SI units into presentation US customary when the browser's locale in en_US. Or indeed £, p. into £sd for the faredge ukip fringe (give them their own gibberish locale gb_GB;)
May I respectfully point to El Reg's very own Vulture Central Standards Bureau which has very adequately covered the thorny issue of converting areas, volumes, salaries and so on into internationally acceptable terms? As a quick check will confirm, 11,300 square feet is just over 50 NanoWales. I might add that's a very respectable base unit for a dwelling in the mountains.

Why? The Register can just keep using its well-established units of measurement: the giraffe, London bus, Wales, etc.
Nobody finds your ratty little poop machines cute but you and NOBODY wants to play hopscotch trying to avoid the mess you have left using public walkways as a toilet.
That said, don't buy land with a public easement and then try to control public use of it. It doesn't matter how many billions you have - you don't get to keep a public trail to yourself. If you want seclusion and privacy, buy some land without an easement through it.
This is no different than people trying to kick someone off the sidewalk in front of their house/business. You don't have the right.
