Po’folk housing advocate Stephen Curry says, “not in my back yard!”

Curry and his wife Ayesha reportedly wrote a letter to the town of Atherton, California, expressing their concerns with a plan to develop 16 townhouses where a single family home is currently located, according to local outlet The Alamanac. The housing project would be located at 23 Oakwood Blvd. and would not contribute to the state’s low-income housing requirements.

Curry, a longtime Democratic activist, joined the non-profit NinetyToZero in 2021, a group devoted to economic equality and a reduced racial wealth gap, CNBC reported at the time. “Bridging the racial wealth gap is one of the biggest challenges of our generation,” Curry said. “We are setting a concrete approach that every organization can take to initiate meaningful progress now.”

Curry endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020 and conducted a racial “equity” town hall with former President Barack Obama in 2019, Washington Free Beacon reported. Curry has voiced support for activist Colin Kaepernick and donated $10,000 to Kaepernick’s philanthropic efforts. He and his wife participated in Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 and repeatedly expressed support for the movement.

The project Curry objects to is not low or moderate-income housing, so it’s understandable if he doesn’t see any hypocrisy here although it’s interesting that he’s demanding “taller fences and landscaping to protect him from the upper-class unwashed* — but the groups he’s aligned with argue, persuasively to me, that the sky-high cost of housing in California (and around much of the country) is due to suburban zoning regulations that restrict construction of multi-family houses and favor single-family homes. The solution, as Connecticut’s 8-30G Democrats insist, is for the state to override local zoning rules and shove townhouses and condo projects into those single-family zones.

Curry, apparently, doesn’t want to be the first victim of woke — I have no sympathy
