If a Great Depression happened again, would people still stand together like they did during the penny auctions?

No. The auctions wouldn’t happen in person but online. Some reit or foreign money or both will bid more than the locals could afford.
Average folk probably wouldn’t even be allowed to participate. Only corporations with proof of excessive funds would be allowed to bid.
Only corporations whose name starts with the word “Black” and ends with “Rock” will be allowed to bid.
