And I'm delighted to note that Fanny, Freddie nor CRA were mentioned anywhere -- another blow to wingnut revisionist history. But while this sector needs regulation badly, I strongly suspect that the best window of opportunity is past and whatever regulation that may emerge is going to be very weak, and pretty much make Too Big to Fail the default position of some of these banks. Philly's ambitous stormwater management program is just incredible and everyone is crossing their fingers that the EPA gives this the thumbs up. This is a real model for urban areas where the construction of new tunnels or treatment capacity is going to cost alot of money. If Philly can get that approved as a way to address their CSO issue, that will make alot of cities rethink their CSO issues.
