I gave you a thumbs up, and respect your opinion. Try to look it from my point of view. I am disabled and can't cut a lawn, trim trees, clean gutters, etc. I am on a limited budget. So I can't pay for things like this to be done. I am very happy in my little apartment. I pay my rent on time and my landlord fixes all the problems I have with the apartment. So why would I want to own a home?

With true respect, you're a niche case. Many cities have a housing shortage, which is compounded by a lot of their owners either not living in them or renting them out for profit. 

This in turn drives up the price of housing, since it becomes an increasingly scarce but also profitable commodity. Paradoxically, though, the greed of many landlords to make as much profit as possible makes it even harder for people to save up the necessary deposit to own a home. 

In a lot of European countries, protections are in place and rent is relatively controlled. I live in London and it's currently a total shitshow. It was always bad, but at the moment it's historically bad and people are leaving the city.
