Sure, and I said as much in my comment. Housing prices need to fall. But policy makers concerned with the "net good" would make a bare minimum effort to account for the millions of people they would harm with their policy. Something like allowing people to deduct their home's depreciation on their taxes would go a long way in actually getting policy support and passed. Try to allow for a little nuance sometimes.
