Well, it's true, but it really is more to help the people who live in more expensive areas, etc. In your case, it won't make much difference. But if you lived somewhere expensive it would encourage you to buy a home rather than rent. (Whereas maybe there wouldn't be much incentive otherwise).

I guess it should be touted as tax savings for more expensive homes.
