And if we move homes/housing out of the _capitalist_ economy and into the 
_sharing_ economy, what happens then??

Ponder the emerging worldview of Millennials who are shunning personal 
ownership of houses and cars, embracing social sharing (e.g. Uber, AirBnB, 
cooperative financing), and redefining alternative models of career and 
education (to obviate indebtedness) — “co-housing” (largely a product of the 
Boomer culture as we know it) will likely morph to something beyond a “truly 
capitalist thing”.
