Which part of your psychology research has to do with this, IT, or any other host of things you think you know all about on this board?
As to #3, my point was that forcing "affordable housing loans" on the banks is what created the sub-prime market.

even in your "perfect" example, you say location was a "big" part of it, meaning that in no way was it all of it, and a model that only used location was not nearly as robust as a model that used location and many other factors.
I hope it's not too insulting for me to interpret your own work for you.
