And who is a big player in real estate..... Go figure

tax-subsidized real estate investing has gotten us into this grossly overbuilt situation that has blighted the landscape of America with more strip malls,big box stores, shopping malls and “monuments to oneself” that will now be vacated as the rats run for cover to the next space
