Guess the "Board" wasn't as stupid as Scarr thought they were. Wouldn't want that creep living near me, either.
Don't know how familiar you are with Central Park West.However,being a regular visitor to that area and having seriously considered buying a small (very small,to be sure) place there a few years ago I have some knowledge of it.
On Central Park West from 59th St up to at least 92nd St you'll find multi,*multi*,millionaire leftists equaled in Marxist snarkiness only by certain residents of Malibu.
IOW,the board turned him down because of his association with DJT.It's just that simple.
