A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property. Most modern-day households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or in a domesticated environment. As an alternative to the definition of "home" as a physical locale, home may be perceived to have no physical definition--instead, home may relate instead to a mental or emotional state of refuge or comfort.

There are certain cultures in which members lack permanent homes, such as with nomadic people.

Why is home insurance limited to each and every different type of disaster?
Q. The home is either livable or NOT livable...it matters NOT what disaster ruined the home.. Why then is it that you have to pay extra for each different type of circumstance? An accident is an accident... a disaster is a disaster... the home can only be burned, flooded, distroyed by earthquake / tornado / hurricaine ONCE.. why pay for all the different ways insurance-wise? How covered is covered? And WHY !!! Why?? Is it if you Never have any type of claim you aren't refunded some of that money you spend year after year after year? Again, once you've paid in insurance the amount of the home value.. what difference does it make if you replaced the home 'money-wise' already in insurance premiums?

A. You used the words paid, pay, money, spend, and they are all correct. It is all about the money, yours specifically, and how much of it the insurance industry can get (steal).

home owner rights when neighbor plants a large tree blocking view?
Q. my home was built a number of years before my neighbor built their home. now they have planted a ash tree that will block my view of the valley. I live on a mountain bench above the city. we have an excellent view of the valley and sunsets. their house sits directly behind and lower than ours which took out some of our view. now they are planting trees to give them privacy from our rear decks. what can we do?
Asked by Paul O - Tue May 20 22:22:54 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You know what, it's your own fault for being too cheap to buy the vacant lot next to you before your neighbor built his home on it. If you wanted to ensure that you would have your view for the rest of your life then you should have spent the money, bought the lot, and kept it mowed. It is now his property and he can do what he wants with it, so keep your mouth shut and mind your own business. I have had neighbors try to tell me what I should and shouldn't plant in my yard over the years and I responded to them by putting up a tall privacy fence. Quit being so selfish and realize that your neighbors have rights too and you are way out of line trying to control what they do with their own property. If you really think that you have a… [cont.]

  • Home is where the heart is.
    • Ancient saying, reported at least as early as 1847, in Joseph C. Neal, "Singleton Snippe. Who Married for a Living", Graham's Magazine (1847), p. 166: "Home is where the heart is; and Snippe's heart was a traveler—a locomotive heart, perambulating; and it had no tendencies toward circumscription and confine".
  • A man's house is his castle — et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium.
    • Edward Coke, The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, or, A Commentary on Littleton (London, 1628, ed. F. Hargrave and C. Butler, 19th ed., London, 1832), Third Institute, p. 162. The exact translation of the Latin portion is: "and where shall a man be safe if it be not in his own house?", quoted from Pandects, lib. ii. tit. iv. De in Jus vocando.
  • Home is home, though it be never so homely.
    • English proverb, reported in John Clarke, Paræmiologia (1639), p. 101.
  • 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there 's no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which sought through the world is ne'er met with elsewhere.
    • John Howard Payne, Home, Sweet Home (1822), from the opera of "Clari, the Maid of Milan"
  • Sitting with my gin or whisky afterwards I would often manage to get into conversation with some lonely man or other – usually an exile like myself – and the talk would be about the world, air-routes and shipping-lines, drinking-places thousands of miles away. Then I felt happy, felt I had come home, because home to people like me is not a place but all places, all places except the one we happen to be in at the moment.
