    It’s by design, and in theory meant to encourage ownership to put personal stakes in the region. In practice, of course, homes are laughably unaffordable and it’s a free bonus for the rich.

      I was surprised to see this stat: homeownership in the US is in the mid to high 60%s range. Meaning we have twice as many owner-occupied homes as rented homes.
