I’ll be speaking briefly on the radio today on the 94.9 KUOW show The Conversation With Ross Reynolds with guest host Guy Nelson. The subject is the growing number of foreclosures. Here’s the segment teaser that they sent me:
Foreclosures are up in Washington State. What’s your experience with foreclosure in this housing market? You can call into the program today between 12:40 and 1 pm at 206.543.KUOW (5869) / 800.289.KUOW. Or call our listener line to leave a message before the show: 206.221.3663.
The show’s producer asked me what my take is “on the foreclosure problem / solutions,” to which my succinct response was that “it is a regrettable mess, but unfortunately one that must play out in order for the housing market and the economy as a whole to return to a healthy state of sustainable growth.”
Guy’s other guest will be Linda Taylor, Housing Director at the Urban League, who I am told has a “different perspective.”
Update: Here is the audio from the segment. I come in about 7:45 into it.
