I'm starting to think that home ownership is a Post-WWI chimera that we've gotten used to thinking as normal and usual, like driving in cars. Until mid-century, the extended family was more of a thing. Which may have had to do with scant care for the elderly and natal care. But the invention of the mortgage and suburbanization atomized American culture. Examine the concept of whether a home is actually an investment.It's funny, sometimes what looks like progress is just capitalism having it's way with us.
