But I personally would have enjoyed it more if it compared Homes the way real life investors treat them (as five year tax-free turnarounds), and compare that to stocks within the same time period - so I personally could evaluate the relative merits.

Comparing the 30 year return on a house to the 30 year return on stocks is just too limited (and useless) in my opinion because in real life, investors do not treat housing investments like that.

That's all I was saying.
