Q

Who did real estate contribute to the SI crisis?

A

SI started to get into real estate because it was a tax break, therefore encouraging real estate development. So developers built business buildings, but no one wanted to buy them so developers started to default on big loans. The FSIC which insured SI, went out of business as a result of this. Taxpayers had to bail out these banks in the 1980s. Savings banks offered higher and higher interest rates to attract people, and then banks went and took super risky investment. All apart of bad government regulation.
