The $957 Billion Time Bomb About to Blow Up America's Banks

Twenty point seven percent.
That's the national office vacancy rate. The highest in thirty years. More than 900 million square feet sitting empty across America.
And nearly one trillion dollars in commercial real estate loans mature in 2025 — all needing refinancing in an environment where property values have collapsed and interest rates have doubled.
This video examines the structural problem and where the risk concentrates.
What we cover:

Why commercial real estate loan mechanics create cliff-edge refinancing pressure — and what happens when the math stops working
The geographic breakdown of office vacancy: San Francisco at 35%, Austin at 28%, and why these numbers aren't cyclical
How regional and community banks hold two-thirds of all commercial real estate debt — with 1,374 institutions exceeding regulatory concentration thresholds
The "extend and pretend" strategy banks have used to defer loss recognition — and why 41% of maturing loans were modified rather than paid off
Historical parallels to the S&L crisis and 2008 — same concentration pattern, different building types
The doom loop connecting empty offices to falling property taxes to municipal budget pressure to further vacancy
Why Capital Economics projects office values won't recover to pre-pandemic peaks until 2040

The Fed Chair warned Congress about small bank exposure. The FDIC flagged concentration risk. The delinquency data is public. The maturity wall is dated on a calendar.
This isn't prediction. It's recognition of pressure already building in the system.
