    I think /u/spaceghoti made a good point in the linked thread:

    Seriously, though. I would describe a home is wherever you go to relax and get away from the rest of the world. You may live in a house, but if you're not comfortable there it's not really home to you.

    I think a home has to be a place you view as yours. So the shitty apartment that you're counting the days until you can leave obviously isn't one. Home also has implications of transience. The place I used to live used to be my home, but it's not anymore.

        I can't take credit! Your comment is the one that generated this fascinating discussion, and /u/Bastou is the one who fired this thread up. (Hopefully, we can avoid further derailment of the other one hahaha!)
