Because loaning someone 200k to buy a house should gain the bank nothing If you dont like what you are getting in your mortgage then dont get one or find someone else to underwrite.

Neither the mortgage defaulters or the drunk drivers intended to cause harm, but someone else ended up paying the price for their stupidity anyways.

You are missing one point that invalidates you analogy. Not every drunk driver kills someone when they get behind a whell

In Denver, CO the Bar that severed the drunk too much to drink can be sued and arrested if said drunk gets in a wreck.

You can't blame the people who are defaulting for being stupid, that is something you just can't change.

Simple business deal. Two parties make an agreement. There are consequences for each for breaking the deal. Assigning morality is misguided.

This is true.


One of the parties is supposed to have a wealth of market knowledge giving them expertise in accurately valuing the homes being purchased. The bank is the ultimate owner of the property as long as there is a mortgage on it, and borrowers pay for the ability to walk away from the mortgage in the form of a higher interest rate. Ultimately the lender is always responsible for a loan unless there is outright fraud.

So bank appraisers making $50k/year were supposed to know that properties were overvalued when the House and Senate didn't?
