San Fran's Lending Standards Put The Last Housing Bubble To Shame

``As the San Francisco Federal Credit Union pointed out, it's often not home values that keep people in rentals but rather the inability of potential buyers to come up with a down payment which would be equal to $187,000 on the median home in San Francisco.  So they decided to solve that silly little problem with POPPY.  To our "surprise", POPPY has been a huge success and the credit union is sitting on a backlog of $100 million of pre-approved, 30-year, adjustable-rate mortgages just waiting to be funded.''
