I don't disagree. I'm certainly not anti-owning a home, but it's much more risky than people think it is. This is despite all the people who witnessed the 2008 crash.

I see people stretch themselves with a mortgage, dumping every dollar they have in order to make up the down payment. A single-asset investment philosophy. Why do they do it? The only answer I can imagine is that risk of their home going down in value is low. I disagree the risk is that low.
