Former FTX spokesman and Biden supporter Stephen Curry seeks to block construction of affordable housing near his $31 million mansion
NBA star Stephen Curry and his wife, Ayesha, live in a mansion valued at over $31 million in Atherton, California. They have recently expressed strong opposition to a proposal to transform nearby single-home acreage into a property that could house dozens of less fortunate families — families whose relative wealth may have been eaten away by inflation during President Joe Biden's tenure or diminished in the FTX crash.
"Curry, who endorsed Biden in 2020 and promoted FTX as part of his "long-term partnership," noted in a letter to the town of Atherton that he hesitated "to add to the 'not in our backyard' (literally) rhetoric," but nevertheless suggested that the possible construction of 16 three-story townhomes nearby would generate "major concerns in terms of both privacy and safety."
