It is isn't that they bought high, or that the market is in a
bubble.
It is that the demand for commercial real estate space has
dropped. With people working from home - who needs a big office with
a prestigious address?
People working from home, retail stores are not going to get the
commuter trade. (That includes the sandwich, lunch, and coffee
places.)
People voted for progressive politicians, taxes are up, services
(cops) are down, employees don't feel safe coming to, or at, work,
customers don't feel safe coming to shop, or while shopping. The only
ones showing up regularly are the gangs sent to resupply their stores.
Stores start closing.
Progressive politicians blame skin color rather than the culture
they are supporting. Then raise taxes to pay for their pet programs,
which are falling on a smaller tax base, which means cutbacks have to
be made.
Who wants to own property in down town Progressive City, with the
crime, open air drug markets, high taxes, no cops, cutback in services
to pay for the "migrants", etc? Time to sell the building.
When occupancy rates won't pay the bills, let alone make a loan
payment, sell the building.
Assuming you can find a buyer. Who wants to buy property in down
town Progressive City, with the crime, open air drug markets, high
taxes, no cops, cutback in services to pay for the Sanctuary Status,
etc, just because it has what was a Prestigious Address?
Maybe at a discount. Say - 50 cents on the dollar? Twenty five?
How much would you pay for a building with an 8% occupancy rate?
(That's 8 out of a 100 spaces are rented - 92 are vacant).
How much would you pay for a property you can't use because the
squatters have more rights to use your property than you do?
Then the politicians you supported decide to solve inflation by
"printing" money by the pallet load, further devaluing the dollar, and
the Fed is forced to raise interest rates, are you going to refinance
the loan [which will be based on a lower valuation of the property] at
a higher interest rate, when already you can't pay the bills?
