OT

But why should cap gains be taxed differently? If I make money in housing stocks I am taxed, but if I make them buying a house I am not?

Not logical in the least.

It is at least in part to blame.....part of the reason people think homes are "a good investment" is the favored tax treatment. It's not the only reason, but it's a key ingredient in the soup, and also encourages borrowing (which is also tax favored) to fund it.
