The Higher Cost Of Being African-American Or Latino: Subprime Home Mortgage Lending In New York City, 2004-2005, Richard D. Marsico
The Higher Cost Of Being African-American Or Latino: Subprime Home Mortgage Lending In New York City, 2004-2005, Richard D. Marsico
Articles & Chapters
The recent turmoil in the financial markets caused by rising default rates on subprime residential home mortgages should not obscure that several studies have shown that African-Americans, Latinos, and residents of predominantly minority neighborhoods receive a disproportionately high percentage of subprime loans. The subprime lending crisis should also not obscure the fact that they have also received a disproportionately low percentage of all home mortgage loans.
This report uses data made public pursuant to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) to examine home mortgage lending in New York City in 2004 and 2005 to determine whether African-Americans, Latinos, and residents …
Solving The Contentious Issues Of Private Conservation Easements: Promoting Flexibility For The Future And Engaging The Public Land Use Process, Gerald Korngold
Solving The Contentious Issues Of Private Conservation Easements: Promoting Flexibility For The Future And Engaging The Public Land Use Process, Gerald Korngold
Articles & Chapters
Over the past thirty years, statutes have reversed the common law and authorized private conservation organizations to hold conservation easements "in gross." These interests allow nonprofits to control the use and development of the burdened property by preventing alterations of the natural and ecological features. Conservation easements can be held by organizations geographically distant from the restricted land.
Conservation easements bring great benefits as they support conservation, represent private initiative, yield efficiency benefits, and exemplify freedom of choice of property owners. There are costs, however: significant federal and state tax subsidies, the lack of coordinated planning and public process, class …

Democratizing Capital: The History, Law, And Reform Of The Community Reinvestment Act, Richard D. Marsico
Democratizing Capital: The History, Law, And Reform Of The Community Reinvestment Act, Richard D. Marsico
Articles & Chapters
The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) has made great progress in achieving its dual purposes: eliminating bank redlining and promoting reinvestment in previously redlined neighborhoods. In doing so, the CRA has helped to democratize capital by giving more people a voice in bank lending decisions and including more people in the economic mainstream by influencing banks to make loans to them to buy homes or open small businesses. Despite the CRA's success, the CRA has not reached its full potential. One of the main reasons for this is that the federal agencies that enforce the CRA are so fearful …

American anti-poverty advocates are increasingly focusing on expressing homelessness as a violation of fundamental human rights. Conceptualizing homelessness as a human rights violation can help add legal content to advocacy goals, and help build support for the housing resources, policy changes, and improved legal protective measures needed to ensure access to housing.
This article explores the right to housing in domestic and international law, how to evaluate compliance with the right in the United States, and how to employ legal strategies in support of claims to the right. Theauthors review the status of international law in U. S. law and …
Patterns Of Lending To Low-Income And Minority Persons And Neighborhoods: The 1999 New York Metropolitan Area Lending Scorecard, Richard D. Marsico
Patterns Of Lending To Low-Income And Minority Persons And Neighborhoods: The 1999 New York Metropolitan Area Lending Scorecard, Richard D. Marsico
Articles & Chapters
This paper analyzes home mortgage lending patterns in the New York Metropolitan Area. It examines lending to four particular underserved populations: minority persons, predominantly minority neighborhoods; low-income persons; and low-income neighborhoods. The paper compares lending to these populations to lending to control groups and over time in order to evaluate whether the needs of the underserved populations are being met. The paper also analyzes the records of individual lenders at meeting the credit needs of those four populations and ranks the lenders accordingly. The paper also analyzes trends in subprime lending to these four populations.

Renegotiation And Secured Credit: Explaining The Equity Of Redemption, Marshall E. Tracht
Renegotiation And Secured Credit: Explaining The Equity Of Redemption, Marshall E. Tracht
Articles & Chapters
The prohibition against "clogging the equity of redemption" has been enforced by the courts for centuries, yet the traditional justifications (invoking fairness or unfair bargaining power) offered for this central premise of mortgage law are rather unconvincing, particularly in the commercial context. After describing and critiquing the traditional view, this article lays out an alternative justification for the equity of redemption, stressing the role of the law in fostering efficient renegotiation upon default. This view explains why the equity of redemption cannot be waived in the initial loan documents, and why it can be waived in subsequent workouts only if …
