I am profoundly irritated by real-estate agents and others who, In My
Isufficiently Humble Opinion, falsely equate "home" and "single-family
free-standing owned/mortgaged house".  My (rented) apartment is my home,
blast
it.

(Though, to go by my dreams, my "home" is the single-family &c I grw
up in from 1973 through 1981 but then didn't live in again except for
visits home^H^H^H^H back, which my parents sold in 2002.  It's the
only recognizable place I've ever dreamed about.)
