Weitz – I have a hard time seeing government intervention just 15 years after the last bank crisis where the “too big too fail banks” became even bigger. That said, memories are shockingly short and the importance of a healthy banking sector can’t be understated in a system based entirely on debt. Time will tell I suppose, but I’m guessing the political will to save banks won’t be there.

I'd also suggest that the 'kicking the can down the road strategy' will eventually run out of steam. I don't want to say it won't work, but owners may find that getting cash out of their properties may be better than paying large fees/ interest rates and simply hoping things rebound soon.
