I did not mean I agree with the notion of mortgage-as-property. I was merely pointing out that arguing for the notion based on different definitions and legal findings is all well and good. And that ultimately its inclusion or exclusion in the Property Party has very little to do with how a government might choose to treat "mortgage."

"If mortgage = property, then what does that mean the government would do with it" is not a solvable formula.
