Goshreally    You are right I could not care less what the value of my house is as I have no intentions of moving.    What I have the problems with, are people assuming that we are rich because of where we live.   I sit here watching my old neighbor who has lived there
since the early 60s and who works continualy on his house and fruit trees.   It is his home
not an investment.     Yes there are flippers and foreign buyers but do not lump all of us into the same boat.   Whatever Gov. does will impact us and probably not in a positive way. 
I hope whatever they do is tailered to hit the target group not all of us.
