@Dhmspector@mastodon.social @bgannin@mastodon.social @tonyarnold@mastodon.social Why did those hotels and that mall have such massive loans leveraged against them? They're all well-established and should have been paid off ages ago. Smells fishy, like how Bain Capital forced solvent Kay Bee Toys and Toys R Us to have tons of debt and sucked them dry until they were bankrupt husks.

It takes just a big renovation plan to cause a large loan on properties like those. If theyβre not making money (and SF is like a ghost town in most of downtown esp w/conferences down to almost nothing), itβs cheaper to walk away. Esp if the loans donβt have a repayment provision meaning the banks get the property w/no penalty to to borrower.

All these Silicon Valley AI mogul wannabees have forgotten one, tiny little, important detail: if they keep this up, soon thereβll be no one left to buy their products. Theyβre killing the very middle class they need to survive.
