As a homeowner, this has got to be one of Trump's stupidest takes. a primary residence is not a monetary investment, it is a home. if your primary residence fluctuates in value, it's because the rest of homes out there are also fluctuating in value. the more inflated the housing market becomes, the more the price disparity between homes is, and therefore the less the buying power of any families looking to move.

unless a family is looking to sell their house for cash so they can live on the street, deflating the housing economy is still a net gain.
