    Victoria Barret

    "Prime" Ain't What It Used To Be
    Victoria Barret
    by Victoria Barret  4-22-2009   
     Those nice prime borrowers are getting hit hard. Delinquencies were up 50% last month, and yet the after-shock of the U.S.'s rising unemployment rate has yet to really kick in...

    Housing Problem Was TOO MANY Regulators
    Victoria Barret
    by Victoria Barret  2-23-2009   
     Former Fed Governor Susan Schmidt Bies takes some blame for our current housing woes. What does she point to as problematic? Not lack of regulation, but TOO MANY regulators. Note to Obama: the answer isn't more regulators, but accountable ones.

    Another Reason Not to Start A Business in San Francisco
    Victoria Barret
    by Victoria Barret  7-31-2008   
     Many workers in S.F. can't afford to live in the city, thanks, in part to a restricted housing market. Now city officials don't want them to drive here either. Bottom line: small businesses get hurt.

    Housing Tax Credit Instead
    Victoria Barret
    by Victoria Barret  7-22-2008   
     Fan & Fred pass some cheap money to home buyers, but the majority of it goes to banks. Why is the U.S. government subsidizing lenders? Instead, pass along the savings directly to homeowners.

    Victoria Barret
    by Victoria Barret  4-15-2008   
     To "rescue" homeowners Congress is giving millions to the housing industry and green firms. All this and a deficit! Tax hikes could come next.

    Why Regulators Fail
    Victoria Barret
    by Victoria Barret  3-31-2008   
     Government agencies compete for market share, for self-preservation. The result is lax oversight and lots of holes in the system. Would a mega-regulator be better?
