In my mind, owning people is an atrocity whereas owning a house is not, sure. You disagree? Evil or not, your scheme is likely illegal. Such operations are under extreme scrutiny for good reason.
What part of "Hebrews didn't have a system of chattel slavery" don't you understand? If one was not allowed to force another into servitude, then that means it was on a voluntary basis.
If a person wants to sell himself into servitude, THAT'S HIS CHOICE; and I thought you people were all about freedom of choice, apparently it's only acceptable when it comes to the killing of unborn children.
As for the house your personhood is not owned but your labor is, and some employer will own it for the next 30 years, unless you want to be one the the homeless people aforementioned.
