Okay, where are you getting these examples from? From my experiences of living in the United States I am a bit confused by what you mean. First of all who would ban theatre? The government? It doesn't really make any sense. Everyone wants entertainment. Second of all who would ban houses? This sounds more like a totalitarian dictatorship. The more money people make the bigger they want their houses to be. If one wants to be successful then they will be. Normal people do not end up homeless. They are mostly mentally ill people who have been kicked out of institutions because they can not afford to keep them any more. Either that or drug addicts who have spent everything on their addiction and can not work because of it. I don't know maybe you were talking about some other form of capitalism because I did not really understand what you meant.
