    You’re not taxed on the full appreciation of your home at income tax rates. If the government did, the tax on the appreciation would price people out of their homes.

      Really? We should let the people in the low income areas of my city that just saw their valuations jump up know, because that is exactly what is happening to them. Property value went up 300%, so did the taxes.

        Ah. I failed to consider you live outside of the United States of America. I’m sorry that low income earners are burdened by this kind of tax policy.
