I am not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing, but wondering why you don't think so.
ON a positive side, I think that owning a home will promote better care of it than if you are a renter. I think this will help the neighborhood as more people have a "stake or piece of interest" in the well being of the neighborhood.
On the negative side, people may get a home loan because of the low interest rates and if they change and go up, they will not be able to afford them.

People will buy homes before they are financially able to do so or will buy more home than they can actually afford. There is a lot more to owning a home, than just making a mortgage payment.

Suppressed interest rates mean zero tolerance for slow pays, etc., especially if rates go up.
-
Low mortgage rates are usually a side effect of cheap money. Low interest rates kill many types of investments and lead people to over-invest in the stock market, artificially inflating values.

Not that long ago we were hearing calls for the "Boneheads" at the Fed to cut interest rates to zero or less.
