When homes are no longer investment vehicles.
If you decommoditize homes, then the people living in them and selling them won’t care about resell value and will instead do whatever whimsy they want in their space.

A shitload of effort and material goes into building a home, a home will always be the single most expensive thing people own. The idea people won’t care about it is a fantasy.
Now, what you do tend to get is people who settle down and pick a single home to live in the rest of their lives. Those tend to slowly bend more and more to the owner’s preferences. It’s easier to justify a $xxx,xxx renovation when you will live in the home for decades to come.
