Most other people can function outside small stone age sized groupings just fine. A risk of marriage ending years or perhaps decades later leaving you alive well wiser and richer than when you begun having raised children and started a career is pretty obviously not the same as a risk of ending up in many small burned pieces on a field somewhere 2 hours from now. People still do it because it still makes sense.
Women want no fault divorce not because they are morally bereft but because nobody should be trapped against their will.
Certain things are paid for by the municipality or county and incur costs to same. People. The people that use those resources like schools roads fire safety EMS etc can play all sorts of games about where they "officially" live but they can't hide the actual house that their big fat butt sits in so it makes sense to tax that.
What you are saying is that its OK to tax someone who barely makes enough to live by taxing their income but if bob has 2M in property we shouldn't tax THAT. Do you know how much income tax we should have to charge to make up for that? It's a LOT and 95% of the benefit will accrue to those who are in the top 10% of wealth whilst much of the cost will be put on those in the folks on the lower rungs.
Shall we also forego taxing the 7 - 75th investment property?.
Can we maybe admit that having put $20,000 into a house that is now worth 2M isn't a terrible problem to have and that grandpa is still the winner even with taxes?
