I'm gonna say they probably just think it sounds cool and have no idea what it actually means

What if the homeowner openly and confidently enjoys the struggles of the less fortunate?

It's interesting to note that she was widely hated even at the time though not because she was a rich noble, but because she was austrian. So it's possible the phrase is a fabrication that stuck.

It's not tone deaf. They know exactly what they're doing. That's the tone they want.

Yeah, tone deaf isn’t the right word. Overtly evil and stupid is probably the phrase they were looking for.

It says "The Beverly Estate," in part because it's located at 1326 Beverly Estates Dr. in Beverly Hills.

Yeah, unpopular opinion but this is just whimsical (albeit tone deaf) kitchen decor about cake. Not “evil”.

I once saw a giant "Who Is John Galt" sign in an Urban Outfitters. So... Could be worse?
