Okay, maybe not the coolest link, but still…
The Mortgage Interest Deduction is basically a government subsidy that specifically targets single-family home ownership. What this means is that it’s basically money to build more sprawl.

For Columbus, those who take advantage of this deduction live far more in the suburbs than in the inner core, not surprisingly.
This Columbus housing market update for March 2013 includes an expansion of data, specifically the time it takes for homes to sell on the current market.
