    The city next to mine had its entire hospital network shut down, just because some vulture capitalists saw that the price was less than the value of the real estate it owned. They bought the hospital network, spun off the real estate as a separate venture that then rented the properties to the hospitals, which bankrupted the hospitals leading to their closure.
