{"title":"THE CRA IMPLICATIONS OF PREDATORY LENDING","authors":"Kathleen C. Engel, P. McCoy","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.315103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.315103","url":null,"abstract":"Traditionally, policymakers, communities, and industry have regarded the Community Reinvestment Act (\"CRA\") as a positive mandate for banks and thrifts to do good by increasing investment in low- and moderate-income (\"LMI\") neighborhoods. When Congress enacted CRA, it was inconceivable that LMI neighborhoods might eventually receive too much credit in the form of abusive mortgages. However, by the late 1990s, predatory mortgages- exploitative high-cost loans to gullible borrowers-were ravaging the inner cities.We address the question: given the surge in predatory lending, how should CRA respond? CRA and federal subsidies to regulated lenders can create perverse incentives for lenders to engage in predatory lending. For this reason, regulators should administer CRA with the goal of curbing predatory lending. In particular, federal bank regulators should use CRA to sanction behavior that could further predatory lending. Regulators should deny both satisfactory and outstanding CRA ratings to banks and thrifts that fail to satisfy specific loan eligibility criteria designed to counteract predatory lending when originating or brokering subprime mortgages. Similarly, CRA ratings should drop where banks or thrifts finance subprime lenders-either through letters of credit or working capital loans, or purchases of subprime mortgages or interests in subprime securitizations- without instituting adequate due diligence and monitoring safeguards against predatory lending.Conversely, CRA should be used to reward beneficial conduct by banks and thrifts that is designed to reduce predatory lending. For example, increased CRA credit for legitimate subprime lending by insured depository institutions could inject badly needed healthy competition into the subprime market. CRA credit should also be used to reward banks and thrifts for refinancing predatory loans with legitimate loans. Special marketing programs designed to offer legitimate credit to groups targeted by predatory lenders likewise deserve CRA credit, as do innovative underwriting guidelines for LMI borrowers. Finally, we advise against extending CRA examinations and ratings to non-bank subprime lenders, whether they are affiliated with insured depository institutions.","PeriodicalId":83028,"journal":{"name":"The Fordham urban law journal","volume":"8 1","pages":"1571"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75889678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Privatization and the New Public Management","authors":"E. Savas","doi":"10.4135/9781446217788.n5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4135/9781446217788.n5","url":null,"abstract":"Privatization is now commonplace throughout the world: in communist, socialist, and capitalist countries; in developed and developing countries; in democracies and dictatorships. In the United States privatization is being practiced by Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, blacks and whites. It is no longer a partisan or ideological issue, but rather a pragmatic and increasingly routine approach to governing and to managing public services. (1) Privatization means greater reliance on the private institutions of society and less dependence on government to satisfy people's needs. Those private institutions are: (1) the marketplace and its participants; (2) voluntary associations of all kinds, formal and informal; and (3) the family, which is, after all, the original Department of Housing, Social Services, Health, and Education. Privatization takes many forms: contracting, franchising, and \"vouchering\"; selling and leasing government-owned assets to the private sector; and shedding services and deregulating. The various forms of privatization all operate by allowing markets to provide desired goods and services to consumers. Contracting out common government services and selling off government-owned businesses and assets continues, but has advanced far beyond the conventional contracting out of garbage collection and selling off of in rem properties. Private towing services rescue foundering pleasure boats for a fee, something the U.S. Coast Guard once did at taxpayers' expense. (2) Privatized approaches are protecting the environment: North Atlantic salmon are protected by private environmental entrepreneurs who use market forces to buy and retire fishing rights, an improvement over government conservation efforts. (3) Private groups are saving open space: in ten years, 1200 local land trusts permanently protected 2.7 million new acres from development. (4) A market-based approach, namely, international emissions trading, is called for in the Kyoto Protocol to reduce pollution that is said to contribute to global warming. (5) New York State has turned over Stewart and Niagara Falls Airports to foreign airport operators--British and Spanish respectively--on ninety-nine year leases. New Hampshire and Georgia have leased state parks and resorts to private firms. (6) Churches in Indianapolis maintain neighborhood parks under city contracts. (7) Bryant Park, in the middle of Manhattan, was transformed from a crime-ridden haven for junkies to a six-acre jewel by a voluntary local business association. Nearby Central Park, one of the world's most famous urban open spaces, is managed by another private, nonprofit organization. (8) New York sold its popular convention center, the Coliseum, to developers who will take advantage of its premier location, (9) and is selling hundreds of millions of dollars of other prime real estate. (10) The federal government is auctioning 27,000 acres of land near Las Vegas, Nevada, worth 500 million to one ","PeriodicalId":83028,"journal":{"name":"The Fordham urban law journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"1731"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82798399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
