"The steward relationship between the servicer and the property is broken, particularly in these hard-hit communities," You force these banks to make loans in slum areas, then attack them when they take a look at the foreclosed property and give up. And you wonder why they didn't want to make loans there in the first place.

Of course the big banks will walk away when they realize the expense of maintaining a vacant property or a non-vacant property--------the banks become the owners and the landlords. The banks could just as easily have worked with the homeowners living in those properties to keep them in their homes-------however, as the banks are now global why should they bother with helping Americans in Chicago, Arizona, New York, or any place in the USA. As noted in the article, three years ago there was a vital neighborhood --------did the foreclosures help the neighborhod not according the description of houses now with broken windows etc.? The banks do not need Federal programs such as the MHA programs with Obama parameters---- to keep families in their homes. Instead of programs that crunch numbers the banks need to become a part of America again, a part of the communities. The banks need to return to being a part of the town, city, neighborhood, the country and connect with the individual families and individuals.
