Bloomberg once blamed end of ‘redlining’ for 2008 economic collapse
Politics Feb 12, 2020 8:20 PM ESTWASHINGTON (AP) — At the height of the 2008 economic collapse, then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the elimination of a discriminatory housing practice known as “redlining” was responsible for instigating the meltdown.
“It all started back when there was a lot of pressure on banks to make loans to everyone,” Bloomberg said at a forum that was hosted by Georgetown University in September 2008. “Redlining, if you remember, was the term where banks took whole neighborhoods and said, ‘People in these neighborhoods are poor, they’re not going to be able to pay off their mortgages, tell your salesmen don’t go into those areas.'”

“It’s been well documented that the 2008 crash was caused by unethical, predatory lending that deliberately targeted communities of color,” said Debra Gore-Mann, president and CEO of the Greenlining Institute, a nonprofit that works for racial and economic justice.
“People of color were sold trick loans with exploding interest rates designed to push them into foreclosure. Our communities of color and low income communities were the victims of the crash, not the cause.”
To argue that practice of stated income, interest only, balloon, ARMS and other new mortgage tools were only designed and targeted to people of color is about the silliest thing I've read in a while. Everyone in the supply chain of industry, from teh consumer to the investment bankers that sold the loan portfolios on the market were complicit in getting people into larger homes/mortgages than they could afford.
