Rules for thee, not for me.

[sportzluvr1]

I wouldn’t either.

[JohnnyHatesJazz]

Well it's like when you look for a home, you look for a home in a nice area with good jobs and educated people.

It's just the inverse of that.

[hermanotarjeta]

I wouldn’t want to live near third year prizm silver Lebron laker rookie bois either.

Sounds like #Teamlightskin should have secured a gated manor on the Bird Streets instead of a rural sector near San Fran if he really wanted to distance himself from those people.

[babyfaceposey]

Good for him. This is the reason I bought an older home in an established neighborhood. There is no were to build low income housing, unlike new housing developments.

Does anyone want to live by low income housing?

edit: though a low income house in Atherton is probably 5 million bucks

To be fair, it would literally be right behind his house:

According to Daily Mail, Stephen and Ayesha bought their $31 million Atherton mansion in 2019.

The three-story home reportedly already sits at the end of a long driveway that is not visible from the street, and the proposed development would be located on a currently vacant 1.52-acre lot situated directly behind the Golden State Warrior star’s property.

The development was reportedly proposed by the lot’s property owner, David Arata, after he inherited the property from his mother three years ago.

Curry isn't your typical NIMBY (not in my back yard) -- he's extremely famous and attracts a lot of attention, including unwanted kinds of attention.

He probably should have bought the lot if he didn’t want something else going in.

Then he shouldn’t have purchased a home that was adjacent to a vacant lot. Or maybe he should have just purchased the lot himself.

Like that ESPN reporter Chris Palmer who tweeted 'Burn that $hit down, burn it all down' showing an on-fire building caused by George Floyd protesters then when they got near his house...
"They just attacked our sister community down the street. It's a gated community and they tried to climb the gates, they had to beat them back. They destroyed a Starbucks and are now in front of my building. Get these animals the f#*k out of my neighborhood. Go back to where you live."

[tmar214]

I mean no one would be happy if they bought a home and the lot next to it was zoned for a single home and the owner of that lot tried to get it rezoned for apartments so the neighbor could sell the lot for more money.

The low income angle is just meant to make curry look bad as these would likely be townhomes costing millions of dollars if land in atherton is worth 8m per acre like articles have said.

[Spacemanspif]

of course nobody read the article, and just the flashy headline. they don't want ANY building with direct sightlines into their house, has nothing to do with the project being for low-income housing. typical trash responses from the posters you'd expect them from.

[GOATcards]

"Affordable housing" in wealthy Bay Area communities isn't cheap -- it's based on the median income, which is relatively high.

For example, "very low" income bracket of individuals in Atherton is $63.9k.

yeah I think people are just quick to jump on anything negative towards Steph. the lack of understanding of what these programs are just further shows how prejudicial they are.

I utilized the affordable housing programs in SF when I was on entry-level salary to "buy" a condo. The program artifically lowers the price to a % of the median income, and they also helped subsidize the majority of my down payment. Median income for SF in 2022 was listed as $97k for a single person.

The type of building being proposed is likely a large complex, not entirely made up of affordable housing, but rather required to reserve a certain percentage of units to make available to the program. Again, for the sake of clicks, they're not going to mention that and just go for the "Curry doesn't want poor people" headline. I now live in a suburb with all SFR and if someone proposed putting a huge complex in my backyard I'd probably object as well.

Basically, one huge complex begets another huge complex, and that's why you got Silicon Valley instead of Santa Clara Valley. Roots of NIMBY 101. At the same time, you need more housing. Population has doubled in like 20 years.
