Ugh, everyone who totes the &quot;equity equity equity&quot; argument about robotically. Probably the same suckers who think they are going to get rich off of their startup options.<p>Once you factor in the risk offset (what happens when that once-in-a-century flood ruins the house? if you&#x27;re renting, you just fuck off scot-free) and the ability to pick up and move to another city (which is what this whole article is about) if you still can&#x27;t see the value prop you deserve your property taxes and underwater mortgages that you will never see a return on, because <i>your house is not really an investment vehicle</i>.
