Carson’s mayor wants the NFL to move to town. The possibility that he doesn’t actually live in town could complicate things.

According to the Los Angeles Times, a question has arisen regarding whether Mayor Albert Robles actually resides in Carson. If he doesn’t, the man spearheading the local political effort to get the Raiders and Chargers to reside in Carson can no longer be mayor.

His wife and children live north of Carson. Robles claims that he lives with his parents in Carson, and that he drives early every morning to the home of his wife and children.

“The notion of a couple, a married couple, only living together as man and wife is not something that holds true today like it did in the 1950s,” Robles told the Times. “The whole notion of marriage has evolved.”

Marriage has indeed evolved. For most, however, it hasn’t evolved to the point where the man of the house lives in a different house.

Robles reportedly contradicted himself during the interview, calling his marriage “good” while also describing it as being in a state of “emotional separation . . . emotional divorce.”

The article contains accounts from neighbors of both houses, some of whom claim he lives with his wife and children, and that he doesn’t live in Carson with his parents.

Now that people are paying attention, Robles has no choice but to live with his parents. Or (eureka!) he could move his wife and kids to Carson.

If he refuses, and if it costs him the job of mayor, it could derail the efforts to get the Raiders and Chargers to move to Carson.
