The Great Recession was largely caused by excessive subprime mortgages. https://www.minneapolisfed.org/article/2001/community-development-under-the-cra-review-of-the-1995-regulations-begins https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/mortgages/subprime-mortgage-crisis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis
