>I can sell my house whenever I want (or leave and rent it out to someone else)

Whenever you want, huh? Everyone thought the same thing in 2007.

Are people honestly trying to argue that owning a home leaves you more mobile than renting? Preposterous.

When you need to get out of a rental lease (of which I've never seen go beyond 12 months, but I'm sure they do), the landlord is obligated to make every effort to mitigate his losses and replace you as a tenant. You aren't "stuck".
