I know this thread is several years old, but this exact topic came up in a discussion at work. Thanks for all the work you put into this, saving a lot of time of looking up the relevant bills and such.

One thing though, in one of the earlier paragraphs you wrote:

Another significant cog in the machine was manufactured in 1992. Congress would pass the Federal Housing Enterprises Regulatory Reform Act. Among other things, this Law would build upon the CRA...

I think you might have meant Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 instead. I just wanted to post this in case anyone else was looking for info on what went wrong with the housing market, and was getting confused.

Hey there! Thanks for the correction! Going from memory here, but I am certain I got the name of the bill directly off the bill itself. I remember citing it, and reading the bloody thing to a great degree. It’s possible that the name got changed at some later time. This was a college paper, and one that I knew was going to get every single citation checked and verified by the professor, so I was beyond meticulous in citations. I got an A lol.

But thank you very much for catching this difference! These things DO matter!!

Have a great evening!
