Raphael Bostic, professor at the USC School of Policy, Planning and Development, is interviewed at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's 2009 Policy Summit.
On June 10th, a group of nationally renowned housing policy and community development experts gathered at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's 2009 Policy Summit to advance ideas on how to help the nation address the housing market collapse and stabilize communities in the wake of the economic crisis.
The day was marked by lively debate over topics as varied as whether the country should promote home ownership as much as it has in the past, whether the Community Reinvestment Act should be expanded to include more organizations or become more limited in scope, and whether there should be more or less government involvement in returning the housing industry to health.
Following are excerpts of an interview with Raphael Bostic.
