Well, anyone who bought a house in the last few years will.

I don't give a fuck. Stop buying houses as investments. I'd like to own a HOME. I don't want to sleep in my investment portfolio. Everything we own depreciates, but it's just expected the place you sleep should appreciate.

Yes. Also, no more bailouts.

I feel like that's a case of facing the consequences of their own actions. The idea that a house is an investment, needs to die a painful death, as a warning to future generations.
