"Underwater and Not Walking Away" - Paper by Prof. Brent T. White

Recently published study by University of Arizona Professor Brent T. White (no relation) on reasons homeowners underwater on their equity often choose not to "walk away."  One reason: concern over personal shame.  Better reason: It's their home, not just an investment!  And of course, most quality real estate will appreciate over time.  If this is your situation, an important read. - David
