Sometimes the house of the future is better built, lighter and larger than all the houses of the past, so that the image of the dream house is opposed to that of the childhood home. Late in life, with indomitable courage, we continue to say that we are going to do what we have not yet done: we are going to build a house.

It must therefore satisfy both pride and reason, two irreconcilable terms. — Gaston Bachelard

There's something about TV shows and the format that becomes a bit more personal. People watch two, three in a row before they get out of bed on their laptop or when they get home from going out and before they go to sleep.

No one pushed harder than Congressman Barney Frank to force banks and other financial institutions to reduce their mortgage lending standards, in order to meet government-set goals for more home ownership. Those lower mortgage lending standards are at the heart of the increased riskiness of the mortgage market and of the collapse of Wall Street securities based on those risky mortgages. — Thomas Sowell
Securities based on risky mortgages are what toppled financial institutions but it was the government that made the mortgages risky in the first place, by making home-ownership statistics the holy grail, for which everything else was to be sacrificed, including commonsense standards for making home loans. — Thomas Sowell
If God had wanted us to spend all our time fretting about the problems of home ownership, He would never have created beer.

No indeed, I have long been a believer in purchasing bottled beer, and pouring it into a chilled glass. — Dave Barry

We are seeing the birth of people's capitalism. — Nigel Lawson
I have been mislabeled as a big advocate of low-income home ownership over rental. — Barney Frank

Francione
Ask most people who live in a home and have a mortgage on it whether they own their own home and the answer is almost guaranteed to be a resounding 'yes'. Yet it's the wrong answer.

This confusion lies not only at the individual level, but also at the heart of government thinking. — Dambisa Moyo
As he took her hand she saw him look her over from head to foot, a gesture she recognized and that made her feel at home, but gave her always a faint feeling of superiority to whoever made it.
