Another senior HUD official was more direct in an interview with the Washington Post recently: "In previous eras, we haven't seen people question whether homeownership was the right decision. It was just assumed that's where you want to go. You're not going to hear us say that."
That official was Raphael Bostic, a leading scholar on home finance [rg note: and USC professor] and key policy adviser. An NPR report on Thursday morning said senior officials have acknowledged that their HAMP plan was largely a failure, and were leaning toward policy goals that promoted renting rather than buying. As a result, the report said, Fannie and Freddie might be entirely liquidated.
