This is a slightly more nuanced topic than most people give credit for.
My basic take at this point is that if you want a village with a 1 mile buffer from the world, build a village within the buffer that you already own.
Or, buy up the entire buffer before anyone else does.
DON’T use mafia tactics to make your existing neighbors feel unsafe as a means of scaring them away!
Note: I do not have any information at this point in time to make me believe that they are intentionally terrorizing their neighbors. So far it is only online claims with no evidence. (except for the one person I spoke to who claims to have discussed this with the Rebbe a few times. But he is not corroborating the claims.)
