How does this hurt you if your kids don't go there?

It doesn't hurt me personally but the article opens with the sentence "Neighbors complained about noise, security guards, and hordes of traffic. An unlicensed school named after the Zuckerbergs’ pet chicken tipped them over the edge."

Sounds like a lot of the problem was caused by cars, which shouldn't be necessary for a school, ideally.

Some people have the capacity to think something is wrong even if they are not affected.

Good fences make good neighbors

Kids will slam car doors at dropoff/pickup. It's pretty annoying. I used to live around the corner from a school and parents would use our street for it. They can also cause unexpected heavy traffic if they have some special event.

Seriously? Beyond the unaccounted safety and traffic situation, you've obviously never lived next to a school. Kids are loud AF!

I lived right behind an elementary school (playgound was kitty-corner to my fence) two houses ago. During recess and lunch time, the kids were so loud I had to shout to hear people next to me inside my house.

...but forget all that: What you're advocating for is lawlessness. If you don't like the law, lobby to change it! Don't just violate it and screw over your neighbors in the mean time.

When billionaires break the law, we all suffer. I'll let you try to figure out why. you seem like a smart chap.

Your complaint amounts to "the law is not popular enough to be easily enforced against someone who has the means to defend themselves out of principal"

Repeal the law. Then nobody is breaking it.
