Profit or loss on real estate speculation should no more guide government policy than profit or loss on soy futures or baseball card investments. You want to use housing as an investment, you have to accept risk like any other investment.

Homeowners already are subsidized with mortgage interest and real estate tax deductions, something renters do not benefit from. Government housing policy should be crafted to support strong, stable, healthy communities.
