> except you can’t pay them to go away. Has anyone tried?

  Because anyone has standing to file objections, even if you paid the first lot a $$$$$$ ransom, surely anyone else could file the same objections in the hopes of also receiving a $$$$$$ payout?

  Mate, the reason TODCO makes money is that they get paid[0] for the government for providing affordable housing. The amount they get paid is proportional to the difference between the rate they charge and the current market rate. This is supposed to last a certain amount of time after which they have to run through some statutory rehab thing which need not do anything meaningful, at which point they just start collecting again. So, to be clear, we are currently paying them to not go away, so you're going to have to come up with something truly exceptional to get them to go away. 0: Tax credits, strictly, which are transferable
