Homes aren’t a commodity, they’re a depreciating asset. Land is what has real value in our society, and this is a cultural development dating back to [Enclosure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosure) in the Middle Ages. We realized back then that if you don’t own your own land then you are effectively a slave paying rent to someone else for the privilege of having a roof over your head. I’ve seen other solutions proposed around here, such as government ownership of housing where we all pay rent to the government. What I don’t get is how people can say that with a guy like Trump in power. Do you want Trump to be your landlord? That sounds horrible!
