If one wanted to craft a strategy to make the home-mortgage market even less stable, increase already-unsustainable public debt, and erode private property rights even further than we have already seen, it would be hard to top a new idea from California, of all places.  Two cities have fashioned a plan to use eminent domain not to seize real estate, but to seize the mortgages on them.  Call this … Kelo meets Hugo Chavez:

Oh great...

...so what to expect with this? Well, how about a total collapse of the housing market as a direct result? Good grief these people are absolutely evil SOBs.
