I agree. And I don’t think it is even a matter of an idiot’s failure to read the ‘fine print.’ I’d wager virtually every one of these poor pathetic buyers who stretched beyond their means to get a mcmansion knew EXACTLY what they were signing up for. However, their foolish presumption, likely fueled by crappy advice from a crooked RE agent and mortgage broker, that RE prices would grow to the sky, turned out to be wrong wrong wrong. Nope, no sympathy, and they all should learn the lesson they (literally) signed up for.
