Sorry, but I am not really following this thought here, are you really saying that it is a good thing that people lose their homes, because that will liberate them? Or that it is good that they are poor, because that makes them free? I know Diogenes thought so - 'I saw a child drink from her hands, and threw my cup away'. But then he slept in a barrel and masturbated in the town square.
Home ownership is not an insane fetish, it is one of the ways that people meet their need for a roof over their heads.
