Hi, The homeowner, thru no fault of yours, is effectively being "demoted" to tenant.  

Good insurance is far more effective.

So you are saying that if this is my primary residence (which indeed it is and I could see myself living there for the next 10-20 years if not longer), it is probably best not to report remodeling costs ($50K) on my tax returns (as its effect on the overall adjusted cost basis of the property will depreciate to zero over 10-20 years) -- and that if I did, it would just be a hassle as it could open me up for an audit by the IRS?

Bcuz you'll have to give notice with dates when rules will take effect.
