New America Foundation book talk
I’ll be doing a lunchtime talk at the New America Foundation in Washington on February 5, about Our Lot and the past/future of homeownership as a means of building household wealth. The event is hosted by New America’s Asset Building Program. Senior Research Fellow (and community banker and ex-S&L regulator) Ellen Seidman will respond with comments, which are sure to be insightful.
Event starts at 12:15, at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 400. RSVP:

In The American Prospect, an excellent rundown by former federal banking regulator and now New America Foundation financial services policy director Ellen Seidman of research showing that the Community Reinvestment Act did not cause the subprime crisis.
How the homes we live in turned into the monsters that ate our economy and the United States became a nation obsessed with real estate.
