Len highlights the rule's exclusion of crucial loan types like multifamily mortgages and open-end mortgages, arguing they are vital for community development. He criticizes the rule's overly complex performance rating system, which he claims is incomprehensible and undermines its intended purpose. Len urges bankers to actively support the rule's repeal, emphasizing the need for public education and constructive feedback to reshape regulatory policies effectively.
