- robocat 3y agoFrom article: “the FSLIC decided it was cheaper to actually burn some unfinished condos that a bankrupt Texas S&L had financed rather than try to sell them”. That doesn’t sound crazy. Especially if the condos were rubbish (as we see happen on many countries speculating on houses - unused properties with little intrinsic value).
