Capital gains rollover exclusion (incentive to buy bigger homes or move to more expensive areas)<BR/>3. One time capital gains exclusion<BR/>4. $8,000 new buyer tax credit<BR/><BR/>I'm undoubtedly missing others. <BR/><BR/>Why do we subsidize home ownership to such an extent? <BR/><BR/>#1 and #2 are perverse tax incentives that encourage elderly couples "moving up" into 3,400 sq ft environmentally destructive homes. (This is exactly what is happening in the new huge homes built behind my 50 year old neighborhood.)<BR/><BR/>This certainly benefits the builders - but since the tax benefits are funded by the rest of society, does this provide social benefits to the rest of us?Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338911901078881328noreply@blogger.com
