The FHFA has responded by threatening legal action against Richmond or any other city that uses eminent domain to reduce mortgage principals and by threatening to deny credit to people seeking mortgages in those communities. In October, community groups filed a FOIA request seeking information about the nature and substance of the FHFA's exchanges with the financial industry on this issue. The agency never responded, leading the groups to file suit.
"The FHFA has taken an aggressive stance on this issue in a way that has harmed minority communities. The public deserves to know why," said Linda Lye, staff attorney with the ACLU of Northern California.
The complaint, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, et al. v. Federal Housing Finance Agency, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. It was brought by the ACLU, the ACLU of Northern California, the ACLU of New Jersey, and the Center for Popular Democracy on behalf of a number of community groups across the country.

Bumping your own post? Just let others bump it if they find it interesting.
new to forums ?
No, but it's my first time using one where the moderators are the ones doing most of the insulting and mob attacks. Usually, moderators try to encourage serious discussion.
Says the guy that just bumped two year old conspiracy theorist threads. I am shocked. SHOCKED!
I can't believe that you even went there.
Nope, not really.
Your post is three days old. Nobody is interested by it. Shamelessly bumping it won't change that.
No one is interested in the faux conversations that you are having with your prior conspiracy IDs either.
Conspiracy theories are dangerous. They must be squashed.
Since you are spinning conspiracy theories about conspiracy theories, that would make you dangerous and in need of squashing too.
Do you have any solutions for that?
