Raising fees like this is something they should have done during the mortgage crisis for people buying again within 5 years of a foreclosure, short sale or DIL.  I don't see the need for fees at this time.  It almost looks like PMI.

if only people who make more money and have better scores and pay more taxes could be rewarded, but it never works out that way.

A method to buy the vote with other peoples money is never a good thing. Finally enough pressure to pull back an unfair tax on the responsible citizens.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing   I need to do more investigation but their example is a couple that supposedly pays their bills on time but still has a high debt to income ratio.  How does this happen?  something does not compute here

Looks like they made few micro steps to open up opportunities for those who have old debts. I met a few single moms who work 3 jobs paying the debts of their marriage....  dreaming to get a small place of their own.
