@sullybiker if the banks are allowing this to happen they're preparing for a massive reset in the economy, not just real estate.
@feld It's an old story; overvalued assets with loans written against them, then translated into nuclear derivatives.
@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.
@feld @sullybiker Perhaps you might call it a great reset?
