@sullybiker no, not quite the same. You can't just write down the value of a single building that much without affecting the entire market. Banks will fail because of this. Their LTV ratio is going to get super fucked.
@feld The story of how that happened will be told, and it will be interesting. Hopefully it doesn't ripple out an destroy large parts of the sector, but they got away with 2008 so they'll probably get away with this, because we'll foot the bill. Again.
