Whether a house is worth $400k or $300k is, sometimes, a choice the government makes.
It isn't always, but sometimes it is. Through regulations, through monetary policy, through other policies.
Now if the government decides that you, you personally, standardUser, are going to lose $100k, I don't think the government should bail you out. It's called "moral hazard". You lost $100k. Deal with it.
If the government decides that I, me personally, am going to lost $100k, I would say that I am old and I vote in every single election, and despite my failing memory, I will remember that lost $100k until the day I die and no politician who voted for that will ever get my vote again. I will remember who did that to me.
