Housing exposes a fundamental flaw in institutionalized ethics.

[JackHatchet]

i can't believe we're down to applying real world ethics to a video game to somehow try to understand why people buy more than one virtual home. this is getting weird.

Are you implying that ethics stop existing because it's a video game? When we're talking about how one person's actions affect another--that involves ethics. It's not like it's a video game in a vacuum.
