Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
I recently moved into a neighborhood of San Francisco that is in dire
need of investment and revitalization. My bank does not have a branch
there, and I have to drive several miles to the closest branch. These
proposed changes will only make revitalization of neighborhoods like
mine that much harder, and will all but guarantee stagnation in property
values, among other things. I ask the appropriate members of the
legislature to rethink these changes so as to avoid moving 'backward',
when we could continue to make progress in these areas. I am an example
of the revitalization of an American city. Please do not make it that
much harder for us Americans to do OUR part.
