Article: Steph and Ayesha Curry Oppose New Multi-Family Housing Near Home in Exclusive South Bay Town
Excerpt from the article:
Mercury News obtained a copy of an email that the Currys reportedly sent to Atherton mayor Mayor Bill Widmer and City Manager George Rodericks. It reads:
“We hesitate to add to the ‘not in our backyard’ (literally) rhetoric, but we wanted to send a note before today’s meeting,” the couple wrote just hours before the Atherton City Council convened to discuss revisions to its 2023-2031 housing element. Due Jan. 31, the plan lays out how the affluent burg will meet a state mandate to increase its supply of affordable, multi-family housing over the next eight years … We kindly ask that the town adopts the new housing element without the inclusion of 23 Oakwood (Blvd.). Should that not be sufficient for the state, we ask that the town commits to investing in considerably taller fencing and landscaping to block sight lines onto our family’s property.”
The drama:
You’d do the same if it was going to kill your property value and quality of life.
Its Atherton, this is just some real estate developer trying to make a quick buck, aint no poor people able to afford those houses
Have you lived around poor people? Would not recommend 0 out of 10.
Yes, my super nefarious agenda of "poor people should get housing too." Don't expose me!
This is the reason that high-rise apartment buildings and single family homes are usually separated.
Yes, because single family zoning laws have definitely worked really, really well in this country!
