    For years we all heard how renting is sooooooooo much better cuz u don’t have to fix anything. Now those ppl are learning why home ownership can be advantageous.

    I feel for gen z but half of millennials were laughing all these years now have shocked Pikachu face and own nothing except mtg cards and Funko pops.

      Who in the hell ever said renting was better? Since the advent of money it has been a losing proposition to continuously pay for something you won’t own. The only people pushing for renting over owning are the landlords.

        The only people pushing for renting over owning are the landlords.

        And the media they own or owned by others that share similar class interests.

        I mean, if you search online you can find articles that talk about the pros of renting. I’m assuming those same points have been said before.

        Of the renting units were provided by the government as a non-profit, renting would actually have made sense.

        But now instead, it’s just because you cannot afford the upfront capital.
