Our Neighbors are being evicted and our community destabilized by the foreclosure crisis!

WHEN: Sunday, November 1st, 1:00-4:30PM
WHERE: CAAS, 66-70 Union Sq., Somerville
(Located directly above the Precinct Bar. 
Take bus #87 from Davis Sq.)

lots of door-knocking, and a quick debrief.
PLEASE RSVP TO: Rachel Bedick, 617-623-1392 ext. 141

How about normal-sized type and/or an LJ-cut?

I've never used LiveJournal before. I just changed the font size to small. Is that not small enough? Can you give me specific instructions as to how to make this post acceptable?

I'm so sorry that these self-centered and non-compassionate people cared only about how your font showed up on their friends list and not about the good work you're doing, and that they gave you such a horrible welcome to LiveJournal. I commend you for reaching out to foreclosure victims in our community. I would sign up to attend your meeting if I weren't home sick with bronchitis, but if I'm better by Sunday I will come. Please add me to your mailing list if you have one.

What I don't understand is the following...

The mortgage company refuses to lower your mortgage. You foreclose. Then they auction the house for even less than the amount you were trying to negotiate for your adjusted mortgage. Makes no sense.

I'd like to know more about these cases.

In some cases, foreclosure is just the result of having bought something that people obviously could not afford. While sad, these cases are not the same as those in which something really unexpected happened. I'd like to find out more.
