      Because I’d rather be putting money toward owning my current residence than renting it.

      But the bank says I’m not allowed.

      People owning homes they don’t need doesn’t making housing more accessible for everyone else. If you understand math, this makes sense.

        So everyones labor should be free for you to take then? How are you not the parasite for wanting others to build, maintain and fund a place for you to live?

            What’s holding you back from taking a loan and paying mortgage instead of rent? Risk aversion?

                Then the problem is not that the practice of renting exists, but wealth inequality. Which we fully agree on, especially since several mechanisms are at work that further the gap between the rich and the poor. These all should be addressed.
