Unsold homes tie down would-be transplants | The New York Times

This is one of the things that has always freaked me out about home ownership, even before the housing market started plummeting downhill. What if I get laid off, or hate my job, or just get a really tempting offer somewhere else? I move there and pay rent or another mortgage while trying to get rid of a house? I couldn't afford that on any job in journalism. Owning a home is a very logical thing - equity, making an investment instead of having another expense, etc. But the commitment it signifies to an area and employer just make me cringe. I wonder how the newer generation of workers who have no intention of being with a single company in one city all their lives will change housing.
