They are simply too well-funded and have too many brains working on bringing about improvement and innovation.  

And FDIC wasn't going to kick in since basically, the bank had not failed.Hoping to get some clarity from the brain trust here.

@Luka MilicevicCan I pick your brain on some MTR property managers ?

I've got a SUPER SIMPLE SOLUTION that most people already know.No more racking your brain for workarounds.

There were a few slight distractions like figuring out financing, selling a neighboring lot (that I had also acquired via letter writing) on Craigslist, rent out my RV, rent out my house, make my first ever documentary film (a twenty minute short called Kara, Star Of The World about a woman with a traumatic brain injury from a childhood ski accident), take any photo and video work I could get, start a 360 photography company, create social media channels to hype the build, parent two small kids, do a beautiful and excruciating tandem mountain bike ride across Scotland, drive my family on RV trips to Colorado/Arizona/Utah/Nevada/California/Wisconsin/Minnesota/Michigan/Florida, attempt to write a novel and adopt a puppy.The above may read as humble brag, it is not.

I've spent too much time picking the brains of the STR group at City Hall and think I've got a good idea of where they are at!

It can start with coffee and lunch but you can really pick their brains on all those aforementioned issues just for free.
