Finally, if the burdens of home or property ownership are truly disproportionate -- taking into account all the circumstances after an accurate cost-benefit analysis of your particular situation by a trained accountant or financial advisor -- you always have the option to sell and become a tenant. (!)
I rest my case.
In the mean time, stop picking on the 38% of American households who cannot afford or choose not to become homeowners.
If so many people decide to sell that home or property values decline, then maybe your point is valid.
