161. I Have No Desire for a Huge House
although it doesn't bother me that Bill Gates, or for that matter John Edwards, lives in a mansion.

Criticizing excess is fine, but I don't know what limits or regulations that could be imposed with starting to infringe on people's legitimate use of their money. As we saw last century, levelling the economic playing field by more progressive taxation goes a long way toward balancing housing, too.
