A Contra Costa County
neighborhood is trying to find out who’s behind the “horrible” and “racist”
graffiti spray painted on multiple cars on a property known for pleasure-seekers
and courses on “sensuality.”
“No one likes that type of
attitude in life,” said neighbor Dave Holland. “I thought we were past that but
apparently not. We don’t need that. It’s not in our neighborhood.”
Holland said that for
decades, law enforcement has responded to the property, but it has calmed down
in recent years.
Now, there remains a
curiosity in the local community of what the Lafayette Morehouse is all about.
From certain streets, you could
see members of the property with purple homes, riding around on golf carts and
bringing in groceries from the street and up through the gates.
A NextDoor post asks for
help from neighbors for any surveillance video to try and find the vandals.
Neighbors said they have
security cameras, but there’s so much traffic on the streets in that area, that
the lens aren’t facing that home’s driveway.
The Lafayette Morehouse
website shows current courses on sensuality and explains how those who seek pleasure
have lived together on the property since the 1960s.
Neighbors said it’s enough
to drive local teenagers to try and check it out as a rite of passage.
“Seems like it happens Spring
Break, graduation, Friday or Saturday night, I’ll see kids pulling up and I
think here we go, this will be good,” said Holland.
Neighbors were left
wondering who got up to the property this time to leave the graffiti and why
they used racist words.
“If it was a situation where
it hit our cars here, we’d have to step it up,” said Holland.
