I would move out of my house in an instant if I could do so, but all the foreclosed on and otherwise abandoned properties in my subdivision have made its value drop drastically. Eventually the market will improve, the empty houses will be bought and repaired, and I won't lose money getting out of here.

I have no sentimental attachment to my house. The only point of home ownership to me is not simply throwing money away in rent, but to (presumably) build equity.
