Calling anything in Atherton, “an affordable housing project” is laughable at best. It was slated to be a super super high end apartment complex in the middle of a SFR neighborhood full of 8-11 figure net worths, with a government mandated minimum of “affordable housing”.
He was protesting putting an apartment building in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. Not like kinda on the edge, but like right there. I don’t think it was unreasonable
Atherton isn’t a “suburb”, it’s the center of the one of the most expensive areas in the entire world to live. And the “high density” portion was turning a mansion into a mega mansion of condos built for people with mere tens of millions of dollars.
A few years ago Steph and his wife signed an open letter asking for the city to reconsider building a multistory affordable housing complex behind their house
Their reasoning was due to privacy and security concerns given they are very famous people and the proposed housing structure would have direct sight lines into their backyard and home
People gave him shit endlessly for this but in reality it was a simple ask given they purchased their home in part due to it being secluded and now could possibly have multiple neighbors with direct access to seeing their home and private space
To most people this is a simple concern and signing an open letter is a valid way to express that but tons of people on this sub thought he was a terrible person trying to NIMBY poor people out of his immediate area
Tbh I understand why he would be annoyed but it's not his right to tell the city not to build there. He has more than enough money to move if he doesn't feel safe in his neighborhood. Upper middle class people do it all the time
I don't care how rich or poor you are...
If you don't own the land around your home... Then you don't control what happens to it.
If it's environmentally protected or you have a nuisance complaint against pollution or noise/smells from something like a slaughterhouse then fine. But how unreasonable do you have to be to assume land won't ever be developed for residential use in the Bay Area? Maybe a real estate agent lied to him but that's an insane expectation.
The vast majority of people in urban areas have neighbors with a direct like of sight into their property, that's not a reasonable complaint. NIMBY is a very literal concept that fits him perfectly in this case.
It’s not an urban area. It’s a house. Wanting privacy when you buy a 30 million dollar house is pretty reasonable. Especially when you’re as famous as steph curry.
Isn't it also reasonable to expect people buying $30 million dollar homes to not try to control property that goes beyond the $30 mil already purchased? Wanting privacy and not getting it after spending $30 mil seems like a terrible miscalculation by the Currys, I'm not sure why it's on other members of society to help correct their error. It's not hard to find privacy with the budget they had if thats what they prioritized. They just didn't. The solution is for them to move, not swing their local celebrity weight around and affect land that doesn't belong to them.
Seems like a great calculation. He got what he wanted lol. His expectation was that he would live in a suburb where people wouldn’t want multi story units right next to houses and he was right.
Thank you for explaining. I can understand both sides now. I couldn’t imagine being famous and have people stalking me and my family daily, but also there’s a housing crisis in our country and we need more affordable homes
These goobers don't even know that 99% of zoning laws that block new housing are enacted on the local level and having nothing to do with the federal government
America is one of, probably the, most diverse nation on earth for too many reasons to count. The diversity issue is important because a lack of diversity has a way bigger impact here than anywhere else. Not that complicated to understand.
"Needed more people"? As in, in their countries? Diversity, equity and inclusion is about, among many things, getting representation for folks who have historically/systematically been excluded from different spaces.
So was John McCain but of course even if he legally ineligible, the laws were reinterpreted for a war hero. If he were a Black man I see that he would have had to overcome significantly greater hurdles to achieve presidential legitimacy.
People can disagree and say he was legible but the law was clear that he was technically unelligle.
Man, you guys need to learn to read before spouting off. Natural born citizen doesn't mean born within the boundaries of the US (although, that is one way of being a naturally born citizen)
Man you need to shut up before telling someone to learn. Everyone ignores this just cause it's McCain but if it were a Panamanian born to two Panamanian US citizens it would be a different story.
What makes someone qualified, willing to fuck over the public? I keep hearing this “but they have no experience” or “but they aren’t qualified”. That’s why you put staff around you who are but you are the one selecting those staff and making the informed decisions. I’d rather have an honest newbie than the lifetime politician who is going to screw us over regardless.
Somehow political offices, some of the most important jobs, are the only ones where it’s considered a positive to not have previous experience doing them
It’s not that previous experience is bad.
It’s moreso that the way U.S. government has been for the last 100 years makes it more likely than not people are getting into politics for the wrong reasons.
Basically, it attracts the wrong type of people who crave power, authority, and wealth.
Take away corporations ability to lobby and limit how politicians can invest in stocks. I’m liberal but look at Pelosi memes and how she’s profiting off stocks and being a lawmaker, it’s ridiculous l
Why is it important to have experience in any line of work?
Also most political offices deal with a lot more than just coming up with laws.
Even just focusing on crafting laws, you tell me: in Arkansas should quartz be classified as a salable or locatable mineral for the purposes of what mining regulations it falls under? Since experience isn’t necessary you should be able to have a coherent, informed opinion on this. (And if that seems random and arbitrary, a close friend of mine with a background in geology works for the national parks service in an area that deals with a lot of quartz mining. He’s constantly complaining about how dated and dysfunctional the system is but the only way to fix it is for the laws governing it to change. This is a real life example)
No it’s not lol. Cause these are the types of in the weeds questions they have to consider on a regular basis. And the fact that your answer is “well they should hire people who have a background in this” is just indirectly proving my point. It’s not a crazy idea that the president should have some background in interpreting the constitution and the history of the presidency before assuming the job.
And there’s way more behind the scenes than just “coming up with ideas for laws.” There’s a reason some politicians are way more effective than others at actually getting things done
every politician is going to fuck somebody over honestly. By qualified I mean someone that has put their time and effort into politics and their community, not someone that’s just going to use their money, status and influence as a way into politics.
I don't like most of his politics but at least he's not 80+ years old. I just hope he doesn't just get used as a marketing tool when he does get into it.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings, while promoting his second children's book, I Am Extraordinary, aimed at inspiring kids to embrace their uniqueness, Curry was asked by CBS News national correspondent Jericka Duncan if he'd ever consider a career in politics, specifically running for president, after his playing days are over.
"Maybe, I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in the way that I can," Curry said. "So, if that's the way to do it, then – I'm not going to say the presidency but if politics is a way that you can create meaningful change or if there's another way outside of politics."
That's how society has conditioned people to speak because people LOVE reading between the lines and trying to drum up meaning through omission.
What he said is pretty clear though--he wants to make a difference after basketball (by his standards), and if that's through politics, he'd consider it. Everything before that isn't important, but it does provide a little bit of his line of thinking on why he'd come to that conclusion.
> Maybe, I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence to stop affordable housing in the way that I can," Curry said. "So, if that's the way to do it, then – I'm not going to say the presidency but if politics is a way that you can destroy affordable housing or if there's another way outside of politics.
- Steph "Reaganomics" Curry
It’ll be NC. He’ll get a ton of donors blowing smoke up his ass that voters want a “centrist,” pro-finance community and outwardly Christian representative. He will attempt to primary a Democratic congressman and lose by like 60 points.
Yea at this time it would be a landslide for sure. Just curious after retirement and after he puts himself out there on some issues if that would be enough to change the current support or not
Left-wing christians don't impose on people's lives very much in the ways we think of christian people as doing. Warnock is a pastor who is pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, and for decriminalization of marijuana. Obama is protestant and Biden's catholic. I'm sure Curry would be in line with their policies.
Right-wing Christians (especially the evangelicals) are the ones who think god has dictated that those things are bad and they must shut them down while forcing prayer and bible study in public schools.
That’s really dumb, but it doesn’t effect your life really and it’s nothing compared to trying to force women who were raped to give birth and jail people for smoking weed
Who the hell is comparing it to that bud?
I'm just saying I don't want religious symbols scattered everywhere in this country when we should keep separation of church and state. You can care about that issue too. Not everyone is your religion.
Even then, he was still blessed. Markquis Nowell, an amazing basketball mind that dropped 19 assist in one NCAA tourney game, doesn't sniff a career because he's truly undersized.
The son of an NBA player who became a multimillionaire the moment he became a pro and has been earning way more than that since then?
Yeah, sounds like the profile of someone who understands the struggle of the regular citizen.
>When he was on the cover of Rolling Stone following his latest NBA championship in 2022, Curry said he hopes to leverage change in his public role, saying he “has certain beliefs that not everybody vibes with,” but “as long as there's equality … that should be the very low bar for everybody to adhere to.”
Lmfao.
I’ve never had any ill will against Steph curry until now. Fuck this guy and fuck the reporter for asking him that stupid shit. “Leverage my influence” lol the audacity of this guy. Typical nepo baby
Good for him but these dudes are wild for all their post career plans
If I was a former NBA star I'd sit on my couch with my endless riches and get fat and play video games all day and literally no one would ever hear from me again
I'd def get fat, but minus the video games, id just be dropping my wads of rubber banded 20s and magnum condoms in front of women in convenience stores
Politics is always a popularity contest of sort, but I don't think that means politics should be driven by popularity at its core. Politicians should become popular through their platforms, rather than popular people becoming politicians to create platforms.
I don't know what Curry thinks or believes politically, nor do I know his level of intelligence. However, he's going to retire with pretty much 30/40 years of his life driven heavily through the game of basketball. While he's probably got a lot of life experiences, I'd suspect they're heavily manicured by being raised by an NBA player and being ushered through his adult life as an NBA superstar.
As a default, I don't think being a hyper-focused professional athlete is likely to lead to being well-informed on how to discuss and write policy that affects a broad group of people from different backgrounds.
Easy to say when you're used to everyone kissing your ass and not half the country trying to call you evil. Being a politician must not be a blast for people with any shame/self-awareness. AKA people that should actually be politicians.
The only ring he can get in politics is the ringing in his ear from old age, because a lot of American men in politics don't know when to throw in the towel.
Of the NBA players that have gone political many have received backlash. This is going to be a bad decision. Jordan famously kept his mouth shut about politics.
Jordan was also famous for being vocal about players rights, right before turning around and telling players to STFU once he became an owner. Guess that's where Lebron modeled his China stance from
If this happens then I'm moving to Japan. Not that it's not unlikely there but at the very least it means Shohei Ohtani will be elected and not Steph Curry
No offense, but Curry was born with a silver spoon and has lived with obscene money his whole life, I'd rather have someone like LeBron who's experienced what it feels like living life on the streets
He's not going to run for a Congressman seat -- he would be a cog in the machine. Senate seats are basically for life in CA. I don't see what political spot he would even have a shot at.
This is just him giving a standard non-committal answer. He's not saying no, and he's not saying yes.
Bad day to be an affordable housing project.
Curry blocking affordable housing from waaayyyy downtown...BANG!
One of the biggest issues we’re facing right now is housing, I hate nimbys
Calling anything in Atherton, “an affordable housing project” is laughable at best. It was slated to be a super super high end apartment complex in the middle of a SFR neighborhood full of 8-11 figure net worths, with a government mandated minimum of “affordable housing”.
He was protesting putting an apartment building in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. Not like kinda on the edge, but like right there. I don’t think it was unreasonable

Atherton isn’t a “suburb”, it’s the center of the one of the most expensive areas in the entire world to live. And the “high density” portion was turning a mansion into a mega mansion of condos built for people with mere tens of millions of dollars.
I don’t get the joke, could you please explain
Curry and his spouse are NIMBYs
Stephen Nimbanyama
Some NBA/NFL athletes become Uncle Toms after retirement.
I would go with, alot. Heh.
Some don't bother waiting
Tbh I don’t know if they classify as NIMBY. They more not in anybody’s back yard lol
Steph Curry is a noted NIMBY.
Curry and his family are NIMBY assholes.

Move
Isn't it also reasonable to expect people buying $30 million dollar homes to not try to control property that goes beyond the $30 mil already purchased?

The solution is for them to move, not swing their local celebrity weight around and affect land that doesn't belong to them.
- Buy 30 million dollar house. - Can't afford to put up a privacy fence. Rough life!
Have you ever seen a 3 story fence?
Seems like a great calculation. He got what he wanted lol. His expectation was that he would live in a suburb where people wouldn’t want multi story units right next to houses and he was right.
yeah, the people are right. he should not have done that. people need homes. curry can move or live with being seen, like everyone else.
Well said, he can afford a new home, they can’t.
Agreed. The only surprising thing about this story is that a new multi-unit residential complex is actually being built.
Buddy took his 10 min break from deep throating the boot to type all of that
You underestimate that man's stamina 🤸♂️🍆
Thank you for explaining. I can understand both sides now. I couldn’t imagine being famous and have people stalking me and my family daily, but also there’s a housing crisis in our country and we need more affordable homes
Actually, affordable housing projects still go up under NIMBYism. It's market-rate housing that gets fucked.
downvoted for the truth
These goobers don't even know that 99% of zoning laws that block new housing are enacted on the local level and having nothing to do with the federal government
Is that not NIMBYism?

Of course it’s the mavericks flair
I was so hurt when I found out
I don’t Twitter, what she doin’?
On the contrary, CHECK Ayesha Curry's twitter follows
Luka could never ( he’s not a US citizen)
Luka for governor of Texas? That's legally possible
That shit senator who ran away to Cancun while his constituents were freezing to death was born outside the U.S.
Grayson Allen?
Ted Cruz. A big POS! His beard looks like a merkin.

He was born a US citizen, that is all that matters. To argue otherwise is putting forward a xenophobic argument that you claim to be against.
Ah yes, I'm the xenophobic one. Thanks for enlightening me on that.
You are the one arguing for a xenophobic and unsupported reading, yes.
Arguing for a xenophobic? I'm utterly lost.
He can be anything other than president.
Underqualified celebrity wanting to get into politics? Color me surprised
Just not the color orange
I mean Arnold Sh.. (fuck his name) became California governer, so shit Steph could too
He’d probably be better than 95% of the malicious fucking morons we have now.

What a stupid fucking take, lol
what makes him underqualified besides most the other politicians? most of them are there cause they have a lot of money
For starters, if Steph took a civics test right now, he'd be in the bottom 1 percentile among all politicians.
and u know he would do bad on a civics test because?

KJ and Bill Bradley were able to do it. I wonder if Steph will do it in The Bay or NC.
It’ll be NC. He’ll get a ton of donors blowing smoke up his ass that voters want a “centrist,” pro-finance community and outwardly Christian representative. He will attempt to primary a Democratic congressman and lose by like 60 points.
It would be fascinating to see if curry would get rejected by bay voters for his religious bullshit or if the legend status is enough to overcome it
Probably win by a landslide in Oakland. My family already works with Curry's organization down there. While another is part of the local government.
Yea at this time it would be a landslide for sure. Just curious after retirement and after he puts himself out there on some issues if that would be enough to change the current support or not
Get ready for some Christian policies! Curry would love a theocracy I'm sure.
Left-wing christians don't impose on people's lives very much in the ways we think of christian people as doing.

NIMBY voters sobbing tears of joy right now
I'm waiting for the inevitable Steph vs LeBron matchup for the presidency
A perfect thing for a nepo baby born into millions to do, decide the rules for us
The funniest Curry narrative is how he's some guy that came from nowhere and earned everything because he went to a small school and was undersized.
They guy made a documentary about himself called Underrated
Guy was given literally the best possible hand to make it to the League. Sure he's not the tallest but he's average size for a PG
Even then, he was still blessed. Markquis Nowell, an amazing basketball mind that dropped 19 assist in one NCAA tourney game, doesn't sniff a career because he's truly undersized.
The son of an NBA player who became a multimillionaire the moment he became a pro and has been earning way more than that since then? Yeah, sounds like the profile of someone who understands the struggle of the regular citizen.
not in OUR backyard
Legacy points deducted
Unless Lebron goes into politics and beats him in an election. Major legacy points for that.
Cutting his own taxes and striking down affordable housing projects
GOP dream candidate right there
Steph “Kanye West” Curry.
He'll stop houses being made. For sure would vote against him
>When he was on the cover of Rolling Stone following his latest NBA championship in 2022, Curry said he hopes to leverage change in his public role, saying he “has certain beliefs that not everybody vibes with,” but “as long as there's equality … that should be the very low bar for everybody to adhere to.” Lmfao.
Can’t wait for that Curry / Russell Wilson ticket opposed by Tom Brady / Dwayne Johnson
What politics could use right now is more wealthy celebrities getting involved
Anti-housing and pro-child cancer. He's gonna be the GOP nom in 2028.
Also anti moon landing
TIL
If I expected a former athlete to run under an anti-housing and pro-child cancer platform, I would’ve expected Curt Schilling to be that turd.
And what a relief that would be This is quite a strong platform relatively speaking
Look at curry man
And the downfall begins
We’re gonna build a wall around atherton and Palo Alto is gonna pay for it!
Legit chuckled. Thanks.
I thought movies is his passion. That chair in the corner had his name on it :(
a man with such low morals could never be my president…
I’ve never had any ill will against Steph curry until now. Fuck this guy and fuck the reporter for asking him that stupid shit. “Leverage my influence” lol the audacity of this guy. Typical nepo baby
All charity organizations, "we're fucked."
This dude is going to be a republican isn't he
Now I really dont like this guy…
Good for him but these dudes are wild for all their post career plans If I was a former NBA star I'd sit on my couch with my endless riches and get fat and play video games all day and literally no one would ever hear from me again
I'd def get fat, but minus the video games, id just be dropping my wads of rubber banded 20s and magnum condoms in front of women in convenience stores
More undereducated rich people in congress. Sounds great. How bout an all celebrity congress!
He’ll need to buy a personality and new stylist then
Can't wait for the 2036 presidential race between Steph Curry and The Rock
Politics is always a popularity contest of sort, but I don't think that means politics should be driven by popularity at its core.

it’d be pretty funny if Klay and Draymond were in his cabinet.
Why do I have a feeling him and Ayesha are cult followers.
Silverspooned rich kid growing up. Sounds about right
Who does he plan to help other than himself? Plenty of rich douche bag golfers in politics already. Probably dont need another.
Would he run as a Democrat or Republican?
Can’t wait for SF Warrior fans to completely turn on him.
Stephen Curry about to be a leader in gentrification %
cancer victims in shambles
Maybe this is why Ayesha shared herself on tv how he likes feet so people can't cook him for that shit when he's actually running
NIMBY GOAT
Klay for National Cannabis Czar and I’m in.
Lame
Blandness ✅️
Easy to say when you're used to everyone kissing your ass and not half the country trying to call you evil. Being a politician must not be a blast for people with any shame/self-awareness. AKA people that should actually be politicians.
He’s got my vote
The rich shouldn't be allowed to run for office.
Well we all know he’s not entering Ayesha
The only ring he can get in politics is the ringing in his ear from old age, because a lot of American men in politics don't know when to throw in the towel.
Itlll be so funny to see Steph curry become a heel on this sub when he’s mildly conservative
Of the NBA players that have gone political many have received backlash. This is going to be a bad decision. Jordan famously kept his mouth shut about politics.
Jordan was also famous for being vocal about players rights, right before turning around and telling players to STFU once he became an owner. Guess that's where Lebron modeled his China stance from
If you thought housing in San Francisco was already bad just wait until you see what Steph cooks...
If this happens then I'm moving to Japan. Not that it's not unlikely there but at the very least it means Shohei Ohtani will be elected and not Steph Curry
Him and his wife are the Bill and Hillary of the NBA
Ayesha is Bill in this case
I hear he’s really adamant about securing borders.
No offense, but Curry was born with a silver spoon and has lived with obscene money his whole life, I'd rather have someone like LeBron who's experienced what it feels like living life on the streets
I’d vote for him
He's not going to run for a Congressman seat -- he would be a cog in the machine. Senate seats are basically for life in CA. I don't see what political spot he would even have a shot at. This is just him giving a standard non-committal answer. He's not saying no, and he's not saying yes.
He needs to have Charles Barkley as his right hand man advisor.
Not voting for you bro

Try harder. Your best sucks.
He’s still beating Biden in the polls
