Just more business for the other banks in the region(s) affected.

On the other hand, Congress could pass legislation prohibiting all banks from making such loans. They could also prohibit selling municipal tax-free bonds for those purposes. I think if Republicans introduced such legislation, DemocRATS would have little choice but to go along with it.

As appealing as this sounds,I'll wager that such a law would be struck down,particularly in light of the recent SC decision.
