In Sunnyvale, the offices are owned by real estate companies, and rented by high tech companies.

The real estate companies have debt & mortgages which is equal to a large fraction of their real estate portfolio.

The high tech companies general have little or no debt, in fact, they usually have a pile of cash if they have had a few good years. In some cases, huge piles of cash.

So all the real estate firms can go bankrupt, and the high tech companies will just rent from whoever gets the assets.
With the overbuilding, rents will be low for a LONG time.
