Homes are and should always be an investment because they are. They dont have to beat the stock market, but a well maintained home should track inflation at least. They have real and huge replacement costs in materials and labor. If my house burnt down, it would cost $1M to rebuild.
Im all for cheap simple houses for those with less money. However, unless they are so cheap as to be disposable, they too will be investments.
