Hi,

Please help me answer these questions.?
1. What kind of home do you live in?
According to this question, why add "in"?
Because you live in a place.
You don't live a place.

Is it OK to say "What kind of housing do you live in?" Yes, that's fine.
Is it OK to say "What kind of housing is Rosa's home? This is correct, but not idiomatic.
More natural is eg What kind of housing does Rosa live in?.

2. Where do you live?
According to this question, why not add in? Because 'where' here means 'in what place'.
