> There’s a reason the federal government started subsidizing home mortgages: someone who is bought in to where he lives cares more about where he lives.

Hasn't this thought process proven wrong in europe. Renters were similarly engaged in local communities where there were sufficient protections for long term renters.( I can't find the study now ).

I really don't understand why govt need to be in the business of providing home ownership subsidies. Seems like it has contributed to exacerbating current situation in US.
