NBA Superstar Steph Curry does not want 'low income housing' behind his new $30 million dollar mansion he is building.
According to a letter, both Curry and his 33-year-old wife are concerned about the threat such a development could pose to the “safety and privacy” of both the couple and their three children.
“As Atherton residents, we have been following along with the housing element updates with special interest in the 23 Oakwood property,” they wrote on January 18.
“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 continued. “Safety and privacy for us and our kids continues to be our top priority and one of the biggest reasons we chose Atherton as home.”
“We kindly ask that the town adopts the new housing element without the inclusion of 23 Oakwood,” they wrote further. “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.”
