One of the mile posts on the road to prosperity in our country is ownership. Converting renters to owners is the long term solution for our economy. Prosperous families mean a prosperous economy.
Families should not be placed in jeopardy by predatory lending schemes that take advantage of families. It makes me sick that we are bailing out the predators while lenders are foreclosing on families.
Our cities lack good starter houses. Governmental zoning regulations have limited opportunities for starter homes.
Developers then put up super-sized homes to fill the lots required by zoning. The average sized house has increased in size from 1200 square feet (sf) to over 2000 sf. We should not be putting federal money into super-sized houses but right sized houses. Cottages, bungalows, townhouses and even high rise condominiums are all good solutions. Then we can help more people with same amount of money. Ownership happens in half the time. These owners then have money to upgrade their home or invest in our economy.
