"Nobody actually burned their own house, right?"
"It becomes their neighborhood when they have a stake in it."
In the context of this thread (my anecdote and Baltimore): 'home' is synonymous with 'town' and 'community'.
As for having a stake: again, 'to burn out the pharmacy where you get your medicines, the grocery where you get your food, and the old folks' homes where your granny lives is craziness.'
