You can bet most of the real estate developers left holding the bag gave a lot of big donations to the Democraps.

That's why one can expect them to bailed out by the feds on our dime, just like Silicon Valley Bank's (SVB) larger depositors were bailed out.

Sternlicht? I bet he was teased as a yute.

The question is how will Barry Sternlicht and his ilk get the taxpayers to bailout his investment mistakes. Perhaps Sternlicht has Janet Yellen and Gary Gensler on his speed dial.

Wasn’t Risk Management the problem in previous crashes?

They’ll be like the megastructures in Dredd.
Just crack, murder, and whores.

I suspect we will see .gov programs to save office buildings and real estate soon.

Why? Tax revenue. The government HAS to save them, or die.

Things are going to get interesting kids.

Yes, failing at risk management is risky.

Correct.

The implications make 2008 look mild.

And, once you go remote, you are competing with everyone in the world for the same job. I think Croatia and India can do things cheaper than New York.

The decline is baked into the bread already. What is an open question is if we will get a government ending collapse at the local, state, federal, or international level. The various governments can see this, and are not just going to let San Francisco or New York decline while Idaho and Ohio stumble on.

And if you can live anywhere and telecommute, why live in places where the cost of living is high?

Once there were parking lots
Now it’s a peaceful oasis
You’ve got it, you’ve got it
