That's one of the clearest explanations I have seen. Thanks for posting.
Is that fair to say that the keyword here is the "illusion of affordable housing"? Another words, is that the case that when something sounds too good to be true (cheap mortgages), it probably is?
By the way, are there any alternatives to the plan proposed by the government? Are alternatives listed in the following link realistic options?
