I’m probably reading into what you have written, but it sounds like you feel the people losing their houses are being victimized. I have an ARM, I knew the risks before I signed the contract. I liked the terms for getting into the loan, if I get in trouble with this loan, it is my fault and I ned to find a way to pay my debt.
If a bank does not perform due diligence on people they are lending to or they loan 125% of the value of a property, they deserve to suffer the consequences. These are gambles by lenders and borrowers, it is not the tax payers or responsible home owner’s responsibility to bail them out.
If I can’t make my payment, I have no right to destroy the house on the way out, if I do this I should be locked up and forced to pay for the damages when I get out

I’m not expressing sympathy with homeowners in this matter. But I think about the old adage “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
