> banks cannot possibly be allowed to re-value what real estate they have on their books

Tell me more about this? Why can't banks re-value things that constantly change in value?

The next fragment, "else they'll have to declare bankruptcy", is pretty much the answer. And as we learned in 2008, they're also "too big to fail", so that won't be happening.
