Stimulate housing market and help restore faith in banks by allowing good credit consumers the ability to rollover underwater mortgages (up to a certain amount) into a new home.

We have low prices and low interests rates why not, if even only temporary, allow us to move instead of waiting or paying down debt in a house we don't want anymore just to finally be able to buy a home when prices are high again.
