Yes, this is unfortunately one of the great mistakes (or intentional deeds, depending on how you look at it) of US economic policy of the last few decades. > I have thought about this before and really think we should stop treating home ownership as an investment. However, I can't think of a way to do that which is fair to those who bought homes already.. Correction: fair to those who bought homes recently, rather than 20 years ago and are sitting on top of unrealized capital gains.
