Speaking as someone who owns a house, I cannot fathom mentality of people whose sole purpose in life is to obsess over the value of their house.

I bought my house for living in. It's not a fucking investment vehicle. It's where I keep all my stuff.

As a homeowner, I want the value of my house to go down so I don't have to pay so much in property taxes -- I pay more towards property taxes than I do my mortgage at this point.

It's about status in the community. Magically take that away and nobody would drive a huge, unwieldy truck.
