they可以指代非人吗？

白勇P278 NO. 45

While depressed property values can hurt some large investors,（ they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose ）equity----in many cases representing a life`s savings----can plunge or even disappear.

答案说这是对的，但是我选的时候第一个就排除了，因为they不可能指代depressed property values ，怎么回事呢？谢谢了！

they = investors?

问题解决了，有XD告诉偶了，THEY 就是指代depressed property values。唉。感觉自己的英语太差了。

they 不应该等于investors.因为后面的是devastating.
