In most cases, the state/city income tax and property tax deduction is equal to more than the mortgage interest deduction.

Take away those two and all the rest of deductions might just as well be gone, because it would force many to have to go short form.

Taking away such deductions will also un=qualify most people from getting a mortgage in the first place.
