I agree. If I were up to my eyeballs in house debt I'd leave and toss the keys to the house on the banksters desk. They can have that toxic town, I'll keep my health and the bank can suffer trying to sell it. Glad I live where I do, heck if they pollute the lake in my backyard I'll sell and go somewhere else. Although I don't have a mortgage I'll try to find someone who'll purchase it at a discount. But I'm not staying where there is toxic crap in the soil and air. Dead is dead and I want to live a long time.
