Christopher Chee, managing partner of Redcar Properties and a former Blackstone Group real estate executive, is a classic example of Wall Street money shaping Los Angeles politics. After more than a decade at Blackstone, a firm notorious for mass home purchases and rent hikes that fueled the national housing crisis, Chee co-founded Redcar Properties, which has rapidly expanded its portfolio of high-end developments across L.A. While presenting himself as a civic-minded investor, Chee’s political giving tells another story: he’s donated $6,600 to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and regularly backs Republicans.
