While I agree that loosening will help in the short term, I believe they need to be very careful to not let this get out of control again. I don't envy our current leadership at all.

Stopping foreclosures is a key element in turning around the real estate market. It would halt price erosion that is now hurting the banks to no end. And it would bring back buyers when they see that prices have stabilized.
