Preventing the Next Mortgage Crisis: The Meltdown, the Federal Response, and the Future of Housing in America: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Preventing the Next Mortgage Crisis: The Meltdown, the Federal Response, and the Future of Housing in America" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The great U.S. mortgage crisis was a transformative event that will reverberate for decades across families, neighborhoods, and cities. After years of research on various aspects of the crisis, Dan Immergluck examines what went wrong, identifying the factors that created the fragile housing finance system, which provided fertile ground for calamity. He also examines the federal response to the crisis, including who benefitted most from the response, and how a more effective and fair response could have been formulated. To reduce the incidence of future crises, Immergluck provides a pathway for building a more stable and fair housing finance system that would be less vulnerable to the booms and busts of global finance. Housing finance helps determine access to stable, decent-quality, affordable housing and also affects the geography of housing and educational opportunities. Thus, housing markets shape our communities, our neighborhoods, and our social and economic opportunities. Immerglucks analysis and formulation of a way forward will be of particular interest to those concerned with urban form, neighborhood change and stability, and urban planning and policy, as well as those interested in housing and mortgage markets more generally.

Acknowledgments

This book is primarily an effort to help inform housing and housing-finance policy in the aftermath of the U.S. mortgage crisis. It is also aimed at students of housing and urban policy who are interested in gaining a firmer grasp on the origins, effects, policy responses, and potential long-term consequences of the great U.S. mortgage crisis of the early twenty-first century. Besides all of the tumult and pain it caused for families and neighborhoods, the crisis appears to have also left in its wake a tremendous amount of confusion about its causes, whom it hit hardest, and what lessons we should learn from both the crisis itself and the responses to it. Now, almost a decade after the crisis reached national scale, policymakers are continuing to lay new pieces of the housing finance infrastructure that will shape not only individual families access to mortgagesand so shape their housing optionsbut also the metropolitan fabric of the United States. The housing and neighborhood choices that are open to working-class and middle-income families will be driven, in fundamental ways, by how the housing finance system is shaped by policymakers over the next decade.

A more-than-half-century struggle to increase fairness in housing and mortgage markets is threatened to be unwound due to the parlaying of misinformation over why vulnerable families ended up in foreclosure and neighborhoods were pock-marked with vacant homes. Some parties have tried to blame the crisis on hard-working families and communities of color. Others have pointed at fair housing and community reinvestment policiesironically, policies that have rarely been vigorously enforced. Some of this revisionism is trickling into (and sometimes, flooding into) ongoing policy debates about how the United States can create a stable and sound mortgage market. In these debates, issues of access and fairness are sometimes overlooked. Too often, as has been common in much of the history of financial regulation in the United States, there appears to be more concern for investors and financial interests than for the fate of modest- and middle-income homeowners and the neighborhoods in which they live.

This book would not have been possible without the help of a great many individuals and organizations. I was lucky enough to have the input of several national experts when writing an earlier paper that formed the basis for chapter 3. These included Frank Alexander, Kevin Byers, Phillip Comeau, Sarah Greenberg, Alan Mallach, Kathe Newman, Ira Rheingold, and Alan M. White. Of course, any errorsas well as all opinionsremain entirely my responsibility. I also want to thank the students who have taken my housing-policy class over the last decade or so. The discussions in that classsome of the best I have had in my teaching careerwere critical to my developing the skeletons of this book, as well as providing fertile ground for seeding key housing research questions. I have also been aided by discussions over the effects of housing finance and urban futures with two of my PhD students, Yun Sang Lee and Elora Raymond. Their excellent work has challenged me to think in new ways about the longer-term impacts of housing finance and housing policy on cities and neighborhoods. Abram Lueders provided excellent editorial assistance; the book is clearly better than it would have been without his efforts. I also want to thank the very helpful folks at Rowman and Littlefield, including Jon Sisk, Natalie Mandziuk, and Chris Basso. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank my familyLilly, Kate, and Annafor their support and patience during this project and at all times.
