I'd rather pay capital gains tax on a 250k stock appreciation, than have my house appreciate by the same amount. It's just ordinary people don't have brokerage accounts that can appreciate by so much.

As a slight diversion, this thread danced around a pretty interesting point in my eyes - why are ordinary people denied access to brokerage accounts with advantageous rates - it's not likely that the money actions will be nearly as dynamic or require nearly as much oversight as folks with a lot of money and the minimum investment bars seem unreasonably high before you start dodging the heavy fees. Isn't that system just furthering wealth inequality?
