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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curry reportedly demanded that the town build taller fencing to protect his property and add more landscaping to protect his privacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe kindly ask that the town adopts the new housing element without the inclusion of 23 Oakwood,\u201d the Currys wrote. \u201cShould 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\u2019s property.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The nearly 18,000 square-foot mansion sits on a 2-acre estate that is located in one of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S. in Atherton, California, according to Front Office Sports.
