To the Editor: ( NY TIMES)

Why is the American dream defined solely in terms of owning one’s own home? Why is this particularly American?

Why isn’t the American dream ever spoken of in terms of justice, equality, freedom and responsibility? Does the very definition of who we are as a people and nation have to boil down to things and owning them — however necessary and desirable?
