I am standing in front of a very beautiful,
big, brown house at 14 Rid Road.
It's one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen.
I don't know who lives in it, but when I find out,
I intend to ask them one question.

Hi.
Hello?
Why did you come here?
-I want to come into your house. -Oh.
No, thank you.
I'm sorry. Were you trying to come into our house?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was over there by the road, and I saw your house,
and I thought it was so beautiful.
Thank you.
May I please enter right now?
Can you give us one minute, please?
Take your time.

So?
Doesn't that make you -- remind you of something?
Like, for example, settler colonialism
in North America in the 1400s to the 1800s?
So, we should probably not let him in.
Yeah, but for, like, five minutes?
Okay, fine.
Hello.
We've, uh -- we've both decided to let you into our house.
Wow. Thank you so much.
I'm gonna come in right now.

No, please keep your shoes on.
Here I come.
I'm coming in.
This is the home of Amy and Jon.
They've lived together in this house for 10 happy years.
They are not married, or even dating.
It's a beautiful modern home with unique interior decor,
and I was lucky enough to get a personal tour.

I brought some cookies and some coffee.
Sound good? -That sounds good.
What I was thinking is, we could eat the cookies,
and then drink some of the coffee.
You like that? -I like that.
After touring around the wonderful home of Amy and Jon,
we've decided to take a little break and enjoy some cookies,
some coffee, and some conversation.
How you doing, Jon?
Amy, you're good?
Pretty good, yeah.
Now, Jon, do you love your mom and dad?
Yeah. I love them.
Amy, close with your parents?
Why?
My parents and I disagree
about whether women should own property.
-That sucks. -Mm-hmm.
I hate that.
Jon, don't you think it would be better
if Amy reconnected with her parents?
That's not really my place to say.

I had an amazing day, but it was time to say "goodbye"
to my new friends, Amy and Jon.
Just as I suspected, they had a truly lovely home.
♪♪
As I walked, I couldn't help
but think how nice it would be to own a house.
I thought about the housing-market crash of 2008,
and wondered if similar trends were in play today.
If I owned a home, would it look like
Amy and Jon's, or would it look completely different?
Would it look like me?
Well, maybe someday I'll get to find out.
Until then, I guess I'll just have to keep looking.
