If it was a Republican who had made the decision to sell I suspect her reaction would be more strident.
I know a little bit about this property. Streisand always wanted to SELL the property but could not get the price she wanted. She then donated it to the state - I guess to get a good tax break or something.
For a while it was a tourist attraction (3 homes built in different styles) and I tried to see it but the opening and closing times were always incompatible so I quit trying. I then heard it was going to seed.
