This was very hard to watch. What a waste of Earth's resources, which are not limitless. I could never do that to my home, since I love it so much and have so many memories here. Even if the bank did repo it. I'd be devastated, but I wouldn't destroy it.
With that said, the frustration is obvious and something should be done to force the banks to work with the families to keep them in their homes. Many banks are forcing people out and then pipes freeze and burst and the house is destroyed anyway. Why not work something out so that everyone wins?
