NBA star Steph Curry issued an official opposition to the development of a row of affordable housing units that are slated to be build behind his multi-million dollar mansion.

The Golden State Warriors star and his wife, Ayesha, sent a letter to the town of Atherton opposing the project, which would see up to 16 three-story townhouses spring up in the middle of his uber-wealthy California neighborhood.

The Currys said the housing project would pose as a threat to ‘safety and privacy’ of them and their kids, nothing that the location and height of the townhouses residents leering views into their $31million mansion.

Their neighbors have also spoken out against the project, with some saying building affordable-minded homes in a town where single acres go for $8million made no sense.

In a letter sent to the town on January 18, the Currys expressed concerns over the new homes ‘looming’ over theirs.

‘As Atherton residents… we have been following along with the housing element updates with special interest in the 23 Oakwood property,’ they wrote.

‘We hesitate to add to the ‘not in our backyard’ (literally) rhetoric, but we wanted to send a note before today’s meeting. 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.’

At the minimum, the Currys requested that plans for the new homes include taller fences and extensive landscaping which would block views into their property.

Atherton’s city council decided to develop the lot behind the Currys after facing pressure to comply with the state’s affordable housing plan, which is developing 348 units in communities across different income levels over the next eight years.

The town opted to do the building at 23 Oakwood Boulevard – the 1.52 acre plot alongside the Currys’ – at the request of the property owner, David Arata.

In their letter, the Currys supported the housing program, but asked that Atherton build the units elsewhere. The city council will hold its final vote on the project on January 31

Arata inherited the property from his mother almost three years ago, and said the townhouses would resemble a ‘little village’ instead of a housing complex, as some critics have characterized it.

‘It would be more a little village than a big apartment building,’ he told The Almanac. ”Housing element’ when you mention that people snap; they think it’s going to be low income and it’s going to massive buildings stuck together.’

The city council will hold its final vote on the project on January 31.

In their letter, the Currys supported the housing program, but asked that Atherton build the units elsewhere.

‘We kindly ask that the town adopts the new housing element without the inclusion of 23 Oakwood,’ they wrote. ‘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.’
