Wealthy Liberals in California...conservatives are racist and uncaring.

When black people move in their rich neighborhood...

On March 21, McGrath got a call from a woman representing the neighborhood association who said she was “concerned about the situation.” She told McGrath that neighbors feared for the safety of schoolkids.

McGrath sent Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers an email about his new houseguests. “I am letting you know in case Piedmont PD gets a call about an African American couple walking in the neighborhood around Hampton or La Salle,” McGrath wrote to Bowers on Feb. 4.
Could he not have just emailed his neighbors?
I get the feeling he was trying to make a statement.

That said, I salute him for taking in his fellow man and helping them out.

Surprised by the responses in this thread. I’d be pissed if my neighbors moved in a couple of homeless people next door. And I don’t live in a million plus neighborhood (OT poor). Why don’t these two folks get jobs and get their own place to live?

I mean I support helping people out, volunteer a little of my time, and financially support a couple of agencies that offer assistance. But I don’t want vagrants moving in next door. Call me crazy I guess.

You’re not crazy. All these virtue signaling asshats responding how cool this is should move a couple of homeless people into their own place. Let’s revisit them and this story in six months and see how things are going.
I’d burn that frickers house down. He wants to minister to the homeless? Go do it in a shelter away from My nice clean neighborhood

Saying it’s kind of him to do this and LOLing at his neighbors’ predictable responses is virtue signaling?

It’s not like a razor company made an ad telling everybody in CA to do this and to be better.

When people have called, we’ve not even responded.

This is pretty much SOP for all calls received by PDs in the bay area

Yes IMO. If he wants to be “nice”, he should go be nice at a shelter. Or he can sell his home and donate the proceeds to an advocacy group. His lack of regard for his neighbors is disgusting. He’s an attention whore or he’s pissed at his neighbors and is doing this just to spite them.

And everyone lauding him for it or “loling at his neighbors predictable response” are PsOS too. Why are you LOLing? Because affluent people in a nice hood are aghast that this guy is single handedly trying to cause them grief? WTF?

It’s not funny. The guy is a dick. His neighbors have every right to be pissed. Where is the humor in it?

According to Zillow, his home value has dropped $185,000 in the last 30 days. It is an ugly home anyway.

Yeah, I am also surprised. I thought for sure people on this board would be siding with the neighbors who are complaining about this guy turning his home into a homeless shelter.

Yeah I don't get it. In the Deep South us white people live with black people every single day. When do we get our featured piece in the San Francisco Chronicle?

Good for him but I fear he’s bound to get robbed and/or killed one day.

Portland is one of the least diverse cities in the US but they'd love to tell us Southerners about how racist we are and why diversity is our strength

A) it’s funny to see people get a stick up their arse about stuff. This board didn’t side with permit Patty a year back.

B) the board is a bit less racist than most people assume.

C) the board is also pretty libertarian. Let the man do what wants.
