Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees’ motivation and productivity would increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.”

So homeowners have seen an increase in value for their housing investment during the last five years that far exceeds what they could have made by investing in the stock market.

Furthermore, if residents invest in a home, they can enjoy the use of the home while its value increases, whereas money invested in stocks would not contribute to their quality of life in the same way that owning a home would. Therore, all the residents of our city should invest their money in a home.
