Amusing for one reason.
If you're going to go after a retirement community, I can't think of a worst place. It's actually on Sand Hill Road. Talk about potentially connected people, and people with deep pockets, or whose friends may have deep pockets.
Burton Richter, 82, is among the affected residents. In 2005, the 1976 Nobel Laureate in Physics paid an entrance fee of roughly $1.59 million, 90 percent of which was supposed to be refundable.

Well, hopefully this does indeed work as a usable judgement in other circumstances.
