Are you suggesting an accidental result or an intentional ?
I had never considered the latter until I read your post. To intentionally crash the market for the profit of others would be truly diabolical.
I really don't think the stage actors in this story (James & crooked courts) are that smart. But the people that hold their strings probably are.
Hat tip to you for the best "what if" of the day.
I did not consider your idea of intentional crashing. Seeing how these people think I would not put that past them. Get Trump and damage the current building owners. Why? Ultra rich (lib supporters) scoop up the distressed properties? Reward their puppets, the politicians. Or Government take over for housing the illegals? Interesting point, we shall see.
