Why pay on a $350k mortgage for a $200k house when you can buy an identical house down the street for $200k?

After all the home owner has to live some place.

As a taxpayer you can think of the $210k losses you'll pay for, on what was originally a 20% down loan, as rental payments. After five years depending on the markets, you can decide to sharply devalue your currency or sell apples on the street.
