One of the many places I worked was a very well known private club where the members with "old money" hated and belittled the members with "new" {self made} money.
The grunts working for tips couldn't see the difference, so we just cleaned our guns and read our Bible.
Oh, the old money folks treated the "workers" as if we were furniture, they knew we were there, but we didn't count, so they could say or do anything they wanted to with no consequence.
I think the co-op showed good judgment. Who the heck wants to live next to a creep like Walsh?
Freedom of association is the individual right to come together with other individuals and collectively express, promote, pursue and defend common interests.

And, implied, is the right NOT to associate with people who DON’T share your common interests.
would allow co-ops to reject a prospective purchaser only on strict financial grounds.
That’s not “fair” either. Why should only rich people get to live in fancy buildings. Lets have a law forcing co-ops to sell apartments on an “affordable” price.
