Even before the subprime debacle, you could not sell your HOME! Home is where you hang your hat, home is where the heart is. I suppose one could donate their home if the appropriate box has been checked on their driver license but selling it is impossible.
Somewhere along the line the words house and home became synonomous. It wouldn't sound near as depressing if we had a houseless crisis. The term houseless would make it seem that these people only had an apartment or that they lived in a garage or machine shed. Homeless goes right for the heart just as Home for sale is supposed to make you feel all soft inside.
I have friends and family that live in house trailers and that is a good option for many people. This way you can take your house and home with you wherever you go. At some point these dwellings were were renamed "mobile homes", obviously by the companies that sell them. A mobile home park is actually a parking lot for house trailers.
When i was doing a lot of traveling, i longed to be home and back at my house. After staying in hotels for a week at a time, I'm not sure if i was housesick or homesick?
Don't you feel sorry for all the birds that have to sleep in a nest and are without a birdhome?
