Since the GSEs are now 90+% of the residential mortgage market, giving it to them is in some sense keeping it local as opposed to where BofA is using their capital.
Besides, I didn't see anyone saying "put it in a credit union, keep it local!" ... I saw it more as "put it in a credit union, don't reward the bastards who almost completely fucked us" ...
Also: perhaps the biggest impact on banks like BofA in this has been perceptions that have helped drive their stock price down to historic lows. BofA trades at less than 25% of book value! Woo!
