The renowned basketball player Stephen Curry, who currently plays for the Golden State Warriors, is not at all happy with the urban image that the exclusive neighborhood of Athertonwhere he and his wife, Ayesha, have been living for some time, but in their new location they haven’t even been there for three months.
It transpired that the couple is very upset and has already filed a formal complaint about the plans that a real estate developer has to demolish the house next door and instead build a multifamily consisting of 16 houses.
In a text, sent by e-mail to the authorities on January 18, Stephen and Ayesha gave their arguments to oppose the project, putting their safety as the main reason.
“Safety and privacy for us and our children remain our highest priority and one of the main reasons we choose to live in Atherton,” reads a fragment of the message sent by the 34-year-old athlete.
They then detailed that if their complaint, and that of some of their neighbors, is not heard by the authorities, then they will request that the city absorb the expenses generated by the construction of higher fences that impede visibility towards the adjoining residences, such as yours.
“We kindly ask that the City adopt the new housing element without the inclusion of 23 Oakwood. If that weren’t enough for the state, we ask that the city commit to investing in significantly higher fencing and landscaping to block sight lines to our family property,” the Currys wrote.
In addition to them, magnate Marc Andriessen has also opposed the construction of cheaper houses in the area, which in 2022 was considered, according to Frobes, as the most expensive.
The Currys’ current home, for which they paid close to $30,000,000, spans 17,761 square feet distributed over three floors with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, hall, kitchen, dining room, living room, main room, cinema room, bar, wine cellar, laundry room, garage, among other rooms.
Outside they enjoy a terrace, extensive green areas, a swimming pool with its respective spa area, a pool house, among other amenities.
