Foreclosures - the mortgage crisis!

This is painful to watch!

'Foreclosure Alley'

Some might argue that this is more or less a self-inflicted catastrophe, suggesting, rightly so that the cause is a result of the recklessness of lending banks and that of borrowers. I grudgingly agree, but nevertheless, the effects are more personal and far-reaching!

I am trying to imagine the implications to the affected families. Stuff such as homelessness, separation, marriage breakdown, and suicides spring to my mind!

We have not seen a lot of this in the UK so far, but trust me you, the credit crunch is yet to bite!

The worst is yet to come.
