About a year ago I checked out (on Google Maps) a satellite view of the sleepy little gulf coast community of Boca Chica, TX where Space X has their new launch facility. While the satellite image at that time was probably a couple years old it was just a sleepy little coastal village with a couple dozen homes and nothing more.
Looking at Google Maps now you can see the massive new Space X complex and the launch pad just down the road. The little community is still there adjacent the facility but I noticed, on Google street view of Weems St, half the homes have Teslas parked in the driveways. I wonder if Musk simply bought out all the homeowners.
Edit: I guess Space X did buy out a lot of the community:
