almost all assertions presented in the second video in the post titled:
1977 Community Reinvestment Act - Carter, Clinton, Obama.
Note: Clicking the previous link will open a new browser instance so that you may pause the video and come back to this page to substantiate any given assertion.
I may add a few more citations over time.
Some citations will disappear over time (as the sources delete them).

Wikipedia - CRA - Clinton Administration Changes of 1995
Note - The following quotes have, for reasons probably to do more with politics than fact checking, been removed from the Wikipedia entry. However, for now, both quotes are still available in the Google cached version:
“Part of the increase in home loans was due to…lenders, like Countrywide, that do not mitigate loan risk…using the new subprime authorization”
“The revisions allowed the securitization of CRA loans containing subprime mortgages.”

Side Note: For purposes of understanding that the national housing market bottomed out in February of 2008, the above links documenting “quarterly price change” and “four quarter price change” should be compared against the monthly median sales price data presented in this post.

“give flexibility to lenders by allowing variances that borrowers need to qualify for loans”
“These variances apply to… loan-to-value ratio, borrower contribution, housing expense-to-income ratio, and others”

Still looking for a substantiating source for these assertions:

Still looking for a substantiating source for the stacked chart of:

Charts of Home Prices & Inflation:
I believe the data come from The National Association of Realtors and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I will probably create my own chart and cite the sources. For now, there are similar charts available which document the decoupling of home prices from CPI just after Clinton’s revisions to the CRA (and predict, in 2006, the bursting of the housing bubble).
26) Timestamp = 3:46 through 4:07
New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae includes:
A) These quotes:
“The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.”
“a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.”
“Supporters of the companies said efforts to regulate the lenders tightly under those agencies might diminish their ability to finance loans for lower-income families”
B) This quote from Barney Frank, (D-MA):
“The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”
C) This quote from Melvin Watt, (D-NC):
“and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing”
