Foreclosures Have Cost S.F. Almost $7 Billion

From Beyond Chron,
The foreclosure crisis is costing San Francisco almost $7 billion, according to a new report released today in Bayview by our statewide coalition of homeowners, community leaders and students. Despite efforts to push for solutions through the AG Settlement and State Legislation, Wall Street Bank opposition increases and foreclosures are getting worse. According to RealtyTrac, Bank repossession in San Francisco have increased 39% since June compared to 33% in Vallejo, 17% in Contra Costa and 15% in Alameda.

This is the first report to bring to light the full impact of the costs to Wall Street foreclosures in the city of San Francisco, with detailed numbers for individual neighborhoods including Bayview, which has disproportionately suffered from the foreclosure crisis.
