Abstract
Lurking in the background of the sub-prime crisis is the question: What sustains the American Dream of owning a home? Is ownership of a home the best way to live? How much does home-ownership really cost the taxpayers? And behind this question rises the unthinkable question: Is home ownership for the American middle and upper class obsolete? Should the American Dream be to "rent a home" rather than "buy a home"?
