This thread happened 2 years ago and I thought it was immoral. After working in banking for a year and a half, I realize that it simply is not.

Not walking away from a 30k hole is the same as letting 30k in put options expire without exercising them.

This is a very good point. That option is embedded in every mortgage. And it's not like exercising it is free. There is a huge cost to the borrower.
