Town government around here want’s people to live on one acre lots in 400,000 dollar homes. So, you have one layer of government screwing up another layer of government with the taxpayer or low income/modest workers paying.
Nice.
We’ve met the enemy, and it is our governments.

To force banks to mark all of the real estate values down to market would mean instant insolvency for all banks. There would not be a financially solvent bank left in America. Most mortgages are upside down with negative equity in today's market.
The practical result of such a move would be to reduce assets of banks to values far below their liabilities.
