Pricing risk accurately is the lenders' job and we certainly don't want them to stop doing it. If society as a whole wants these loans to happen, society as a whole should underwrite these loans or subsidize the interest.


I've thought about this, but it risks creating an incentive for lenders to exaggerate the risk of minority lending in order to capture larger subsidized interest amounts or externalize more underwriting risk.
