real estate market gets destroyed by brand damage, sparks fly

Some absolute unit doing a casual deep-dive into why a billionaire's real estate portfolio is basically worthless—turns out buying beachfront property that's famous for being the scene of horrific crimes is not the investment move everyone thought it was.
