My name is Eric Dixon. I speak on behalf of the independent economic
think tank the Financial Policy Council, and I have owned a home here
for 13 years. I oppose the Foreclosure Transformation Act
(A.2168/S.1566) which you consider today.
The Foreclosure Transformation Act threatens all homeowners in New Jersey with massive wealth destruction. The essence of the Act is that the State needs to sell bonds, create a new bureaucracy, buy homes out of foreclosure and convert or sell them to people who will use them for low-income housing, rehab centers or other social welfare purposes which destroy the character of their neighborhoods they are in. The stated goals of reducing the supply of homes for sale and supporting home prices will fail on both counts.
