Well, there are good things about recessions.  They occasionally crush the wet dreams of maniacal real estate developers.  Here in Brooklyn, the city, the state, and a large real estate developer have been stuffing a basketball arena and a series of 65+ story skyscapers up the ass of the neighborhood for many years now.

Sometimes money is spent unwisely on misguided ideas.  In this case, having cash dry up increases the chances that this ridiculous project never gets built.  Sometimes the Universe throws you a bone.
