They got offended and bought the house down the street.Moral of the story: Pigs get fat... hogs get slaughtered.

Most likely it does, to an extent, it makes most people fat, can promote unhealthy conditions or habits!

In the DMV you show up with your fat deposit and then if you are the winning bidder you have X days to close with X ranging from 15 to whenever the court ratifies the sale, depending on where the property is located.

Probably worth a call to Lisa Taylor, Gene Trowbridge or any other syndication attorney. 

And, don't forget the new people they hire will start with a much lower total compensation package and when the time comes, they will let go those people that started with a fat Bay Area salary.I don't disagree with you that a lot people will move out of Bay Area, but at end of day, people like SF Bay Area/New York, they will always be the hubs of the world at least in next 50 years.

So just to give you a few recommendations, start with the two Lindahl books, Gene Trowbridge, and also Rod Khleif's book. 

Office space is going to be fat that gets trimmed to help keep companies afloat.
