Its still really far from that. Would you seriously avoid "owning" a roof over your families head because of a few hundred dollars per year in property tax? Govs arent coming and taking anything away either, like i hear people fear talk about. Maybe one day... i can imagine it... but avoiding ownership now? Ive already years under my belt of home ownership. No one took anything. A more important fact to push is you dont own a home if the bank is involved and you have a mortgage. Pay cash people!
