#1) Wealth Inequality in 21st Century Threatens Economy and Democracy

Without the threat of evictions and seizures, the Legal concept of ownership fails. Not many would continue to service the lender and landlord without this inherent threat. Still, the desire to own one’s home is strong and the situation is tolerated. When large numbers of home owners or renters find themselves in an economy where eviction or seizure is threatened, the stress will be focused back up stream and conflict may ensue.

Homestead (Random House Dictionary)

1. a dwelling with its land and buildings, occupied by the owner as a home and exempted by a homestead law from seizure or sale for debt [or taxes, if I may add]. 2. Any dwelling with its land and buildings where a family makes its home.

There's no place like Home.
