We don’t have to be absolutist about it. Houses are not nearly as volatile as stock, so evaluating and taxing them as wealth is pretty feasible.

> Houses are not nearly as volatile as stock

I know six million American households who lost their homes to foreclosure in 2008 that might disagree with that one.

Prices dropped 15% from the peak to the trough.

The S&P is down 20% in the last 3 months.

I live in a "hot" real estate market, my house has appreciated nearly 50% in 2 years. It's entirely possible that it will depreciate 20% or more over the next year.
