Thank you for the insight. So, in good times, everybody gets stronger. Then in bad times, the strong get stronger at the expense of the weak. I guess that fits with experience.

So the only time the oligopolies get hurt in CRE are when rates rise? (Or if there's a general market panic, as we saw a year ago.)

I still don't understand why they get to act as if they are exempt from the effects of depreciation now that the secular RE bull is over, but maybe I'm just dense. Those buildings don't come for free, and my experience has been that they don't have very long useful lives.
