Something I saw on one of the local news programs this week. People are not able to pay their mortgages when the payment increases, and nobody is taking care of the pools when the house is left empty. Standing water in the pools = mosquito breeding ground = possible problem with West Nile virus. They used Palmdale, CA as an example, but this will be affecting other cities as well.
An interesting potential side-effect of the sub-prime lending market.
